The air is getting colder outside, so bring out the variety of soups and teas! This soup is loaded with vegetables and lean ground beef to create a hearty filling soup. Usually soups for me aren’t filling enough to be an entrée, so that was my mission. In the spirit of utilizing the weekly produce bag, I swapped traditional white onion for the leeks (same family).
All in one pot you get plenty of protein, carb from potato, and veggies – balanced. I did not include salt in the soup because there is enough salt from the beef broth. Of course add some salt if needed. Substitution options include any vegetable (your favorites), different type of broth, and extra seasonings such as thyme and rosemary.
