Mom used to make vegetable soup on a regular basis, but as a kid I didn\u2019t like it much. When I was introduced to a soup with fewer veggies and ground beef instead of stew meat, I was thrilled. I came home from school that day, insisting we make a batch together. Mom liked it too.<\/p>\n<p>A lot has changed since 1973. I now like vegetables in soup. Home economics is now called \u201cFamily and Consumer Science\u201d \u2013 seriously. Beef in any form is not really viewed as a healthy choice.<\/p>\n<p>What hasn\u2019t changed is the ease and irresistible flavor of this simple recipe.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-432 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.trishmcgee.com\/?attachment_id=435'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trishmcgee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_0703-e1422309705284.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trishmcgee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_0703-e1422309705284.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trishmcgee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_0703-e1422309705284.jpg?zoom=2&amp;resize=150%2C150 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trishmcgee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_0703-e1422309705284.jpg?zoom=3&amp;resize=150%2C150 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.trishmcgee.com\/?attachment_id=436'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trishmcgee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_0697.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trishmcgee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_0697.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trishmcgee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_0697.jpg?zoom=2&amp;resize=150%2C150 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trishmcgee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_0697.jpg?zoom=3&amp;resize=150%2C150 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.trishmcgee.com\/?attachment_id=437'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trishmcgee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_0700-e1422309719132.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trishmcgee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_0700-e1422309719132.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trishmcgee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_0700-e1422309719132.jpg?zoom=2&amp;resize=150%2C150 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trishmcgee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_0700-e1422309719132.jpg?zoom=3&amp;resize=150%2C150 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Ingredients<\/p>\n<p>1 lb. lean ground beef<br \/>\n1 medium yellow onion, roughly chopped<br \/>\n3 cloves garlic, minced<br \/>\n1 32 oz. box beef broth<br \/>\n1 can San Marzano whole tomatoes (I like to put the whole tomato in and after it cooks I stir through and cut each in half or quarters.)<br \/>\n2 cans water<br \/>\n4 carrots, peeled and roughly chopped<br \/>\n2 bay leaves<br \/>\n1 T.
