Quick Vegetable Beef Soup

Step 1

Place frozen vegetables out on the counter to thaw slightly. This ensures that they will cook within the simmering/cook time of the soup. *I just leave them out while I chop the onion and cook the ground beef.

Step 2

In a large soup pot, over medium-high heat, cook & crumble ground beef, onion, garlic powder, and dried basil until beef is no longer pink. Drain.

Step 3

To the same pot, add the beef broth, tomato sauce, slightly thawed vegetables, soy sauce, and molasses. Stir together and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce hear to medium-low and let simmer for 15-20 minutes. Stirring occasionally.
