      \u00a0Step-by-Step Instructions (Stovetop Method)<\/h2>\n

      1 Brown the Beef<\/h3>\n

      Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. This step builds the base flavor of the soup. Drain excess fat if needed.<\/p>\n

      2 Saut\u00e9 the Aromatics<\/h3>\n

      Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook for about 3\u20134 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant.<\/p>\n

      3 Add Liquids and Tomatoes<\/h3>\n

      Pour in the beef broth and water. Add the diced tomatoes (with their juices) and the optional tomato paste. Stir everything together to combine.<\/p>\n

      4 Add Vegetables and Seasonings<\/h3>\n

      Add carrots, celery, potatoes, basil, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil.<\/p>\n

      5 Simmer the Soup<\/h3>\n

      Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer uncovered for about 25\u201330 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender.<\/p>\n

      6 Add Remaining Vegetables<\/h3>\n

      Stir in the green beans, corn, and peas. Continue cooking for another 10\u201315 minutes until all vegetables are fully cooked and tender.<\/p>\n

      7 Taste and Serve<\/h3>\n

      Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot and enjoy!<\/p>\n
