Recipe Instructions:

Prepare Ingredients: Start by gathering all the necessary ingredients for this delightful soup.
-
Brown Beef and Onion: In a large pot, place the lean ground beef and chopped onion. Cook over medium heat, breaking up the beef as it browns. This process infuses the soup with rich flavors.
-
Add Corn and Tomato Sauce: Once the beef is nicely browned, add in the corn and tomato sauce. These ingredients contribute to the soup’s robust taste and vibrant color.
-
Incorporate Potatoes: Peel and dice the potatoes, then add them to the pot. Potatoes provide a hearty texture and make the soup more satisfying.
-
Add Water: Pour enough water into the pot to almost fill it to the top. For a 6-quart pot, this usually works perfectly. The water helps to create a flavorful broth that ties all the ingredients together.
-
Simmer: Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Allow it to cook until the potatoes are tender and fully cooked. This simmering process allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
-
Season: Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning according to your preference, adding more salt for depth of flavor or pepper for a hint of spice.
-
Serve: Ladle the piping hot soup into bowls and serve with your favorite crusty bread and butter. The combination of soup and bread is utterly divine and perfect for dipping.
-
Enjoy: Gather around the table with your loved ones and savor each spoonful of this soul-warming soup. Let its comforting aroma and delicious taste create unforgettable moments shared with family and friends.
Tips:
- For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of fresh herbs such as parsley or chives before serving.
- Feel free to customize the soup by adding your favorite vegetables or experimenting with different types of meat.
- This soup freezes well, making it a convenient option for meal prep or quick weeknight dinners. Simply store leftovers in airtight containers and freeze for future enjoyment.
From my family to yours, may this recipe bring joy and warmth to your home just as it has to ours. Happy cooking! 🥄🍅
