Ingredientes

1 lb. lean ground beef

1 medium yellow onion, diced (~2 cups)

1 green bell pepper, diced (~1 cup)

6 garlic cloves, minced

10 oz. (1 large) sweet potato (or butternut squash), peeled and cubed (~2 cups)

10 oz. (2-3) Yukon gold potatoes, cubed (~2 cups)

2 medium carrots, diced (~1 cup)

2 ribs celery, diced (~1 cup)

2 (14-oz.) cans fire-roasted diced tomatoes

1 (6-oz.) can tomato paste

1 quart (4 cups) low-sodium beef broth + additional if needed (we like using bone broth)

1 ½ tablespoons Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon sea salt (plus more to taste)

½ teaspoon black pepper

8 oz fresh green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces (can also use frozen green beans)

2 cups chopped and packed kale, tough stems removed (optional)

Instruções

In a large skillet over medium heat add the ground beef, onion, green pepper, and garlic. Cook and stir until the ground beef is no longer pink.

Drain the ground beef mixture and transfer it to a large slow cooker. Add all remaining ingredients, except for the green beans and kale.

Cook on low for 8-9 hours or on high for 5-6 hours.

When there is about 1 hour of cooking time remaining, open the lid on the slow cooker and stir in the green beans and kale. If you prefer your soup to be thinner, feel free to add additional broth at this time. Replace the lid and continue to cook for 1 hour, or until the green beans are tender. If using frozen green beans, wait to add them until just 30 minutes of cooking time remains.

Taste and season as desired before serving.
