Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups cauliflower florets, cut into pieces
  • 1 small carrot, diced
  • 1 celery stalk, sliced
  • 14 oz can chopped tomatoes
  • 6 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup yellow string beans
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

For Serving

  • Chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Brown the Beef and Aromatics: Grab a large pot and place it over medium-high heat. Add the lean ground beef, finely chopped yellow onion, and minced garlic. Use a spatula to break the beef apart as it cooks. Continue cooking and stirring for about 7-10 minutes until the beef is browned and the onions become translucent.
  2. Add Remaining Ingredients: To the pot with browned beef, add cauliflower florets, diced carrot, sliced celery stalk, chopped tomatoes, beef broth, yellow string beans, and Italian seasoning. Stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
  3. Bring to a Boil: Increase the heat and bring the soup mixture to a boil, ensuring all ingredients heat through and flavors begin to meld.
  4. Simmer the Soup: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Allow the soup to simmer gently for 15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender to your liking and flavors are well blended.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove the soup from heat. Ladle into bowls and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top for a fresh, herbaceous finish. Serve hot and enjoy this comforting low-carb meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute lean ground beef with turkey, chicken, tofu, or plant-based meat alternatives to suit your dietary preferences.
  • If you prefer a milder tomato flavor, try using tomato puree instead of chopped tomatoes.
  • For variety, replace cauliflower with broccoli florets or chopped zucchini for different textures and nutrients.
  • Bok choy or fennel can be swapped in place of celery if you prefer alternative crunch and taste profiles.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • This soup reheats well on the stovetop or microwave, just add a splash of broth or water if it becomes too thick.
