Full of vegetables and lean ground beef, this savory heart healthy soup recipe is something you can feel good about whipping up for your whole family. And even though it’s healthy, it’s not boring; aromatics like onion, garlic, and an herb blend give this soup great flavor!
Add the oil to a 5-quart pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef, onion, celery, carrot, and garlic, and cook until the meat is browned, about 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the beef broth, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, green beans, Worcestershire, Italian herb seasoning, and black pepper. Bring up to a boil, and then cover the pot, turn the heat down to simmer, and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Turn off the heat and stir in the vinegar. Taste and add salt if desired.
Serve the soup garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
