Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: Keto
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 bell peppers, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by chopping onions and bell peppers into small, uniform pieces. Mince the garlic cloves finely.
- Heat a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and break it apart using a wooden spoon, cooking until the meat is browned and no pink remains.
- Add chopped onions to the browned beef and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions become translucent and slightly softened.
- Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 30-45 seconds, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juice and stir to combine with the meat mixture.
- Add chopped bell peppers to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes to slightly soften them.
- Pour in the beef broth and add Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes, allowing flavors to meld together.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt and pepper to preference.
- Serve hot in bowls, optionally garnishing with fresh herbs like parsley or a sprinkle of grated cheese.
Tips
- Use high-quality ground beef with a higher fat content (80/20 or 85/15) for maximum flavor and keto-friendliness.
- Don't rush the browning process - letting the beef develop a nice golden crust adds depth to your soup's flavor.
- For extra richness, consider adding a splash of heavy cream or a sprinkle of shredded cheese when serving.
- If you prefer a thicker soup, you can use xanthan gum as a low-carb thickening agent.
- Fresh herbs like parsley or basil can brighten the soup's flavor profile just before serving.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container - this soup often tastes even better the next day as flavors continue to meld.
