Method
 

Step 1: Brown the Beef
  1. In a medium-high stockpot, heat your favorite cooking oil. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat and set aside.
Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables
  1. In the same pot, add diced carrots, chopped celery, and diced onion. Sauté over medium heat for about 5 minutes until softened.
Step 3: Combine Ingredients
  1. Stir in cubed potatoes, corn, green beans, and peas along with their liquid. Add tomato sauce and crushed tomatoes, mixing until well blended. Season with ground black pepper, bay leaf, and thyme.
Step 4: Simmer the Soup
  1. Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then lower the heat to simmer and cover. Allow it to simmer for about 1 hour.
Step 5: Finish and Serve
  1. Remove the bay leaf from the pot. Serve hot, paired with crusty bread or crackers.
