Ground Beef and Spinach Soup
This ground beef and spinach soup is easy to throw together, makes your house smell amazing as it cooks, and is a crowd-pleaser.
Ingredients
- 1 lb (454 g) 90% lean, grass-fed beef
- 1 cup (120 g) diced onion
- 1/2 cup (65 g) diced celery
- 1/2 cup (75 g) diced bell pepper (any color)
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 2 cartons (32 oz each) beef stock, low sodium
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 bay leaf
- 28 oz can diced tomato, including juice
- 1 cup (85 g) dry pasta, small shape
- 4 cups (120 g) spinach, coarsely chopped
- salt & pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Place a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add lean ground beef and cook until browned. Drain off fat and set cooked beef aside.
- In the same pot, add onion, celery, bell pepper and garlic. Cook until onion is translucent and garlic is fragrant, about 3 minutes, stirring occassionally.
- Return cooked beef to pot, add spices, canned tomatoes & juice, and beef stock. (I don't add salt at this point as beef broth can be salty and the broth will reduce a bit. I recommend adding salt to taste at the end)
- Turn up heat to high, and simmer soup for 20 minutes.
- Add in pasta and continue to cook until pasta is cooked through. (I recommend following package directions on how long to cook pasta)
- Once pasta is cooked through, add in you spinach and give it a stir to wilt. Turn off heat, and add salt and pepper to taste.
