Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 4 cups low FODMAP beef broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Add diced carrots and celery to the pot with the browned beef. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
- Pour in the diced tomatoes and low FODMAP beef broth. Stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and cover the pot.
- Simmer the soup for 35-40 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
- Check that vegetables are tender and beef is fully cooked before removing from heat.
- Let the soup rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld together.
- Ladle into bowls and serve hot. Optional: Garnish with fresh herbs like chives or parsley if desired.
Tips
- Meat Matters: Use lean ground beef (85% or 90% lean) to reduce excess fat and prevent a greasy soup.
- Vegetable Prep: Dice carrots and celery uniformly to ensure even cooking and consistent texture throughout the soup.
- Broth Selection: Choose a certified low FODMAP beef broth to maintain the recipe's digestive-friendly profile.
- Seasoning Secret: Add salt and pepper gradually, tasting as you go to achieve the perfect flavor balance.
- Simmer Slowly: Keep the heat low during simmering to allow flavors to develop and meat to become tender.
- Optional Enhancements: For added nutrition, consider topping with fresh herbs like chives or parsley just before serving.
- Storage Tip: This soup freezes beautifully for up to 3 months, making it perfect for meal prep.
