1 tbsp

Onion, diced:

1 small

Garlic, minced:

2 cloves

Carrots, diced:

2 medium

Frozen Peas:

1 cup

Russet Potatoes, peeled and diced:

1½ cups

Tomato Paste:

1 tbsp

Beef Broth:

4 cups

Dried Thyme:

½ tsp

Dried Rosemary:

½ tsp

Salt:

½ tsp

Black Pepper:

¼ tsp

Heavy Cream:

½ cup

Cornstarch (optional, for thickening):

1 tbsp

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and carrots and sauté for 5–6 minutes until softened.
  2. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  3. Add the ground beef or lamb and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain excess fat if needed.
  4. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another 1–2 minutes.
  5. Add the diced potatoes, beef broth, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  6. Stir in the frozen peas and heavy cream. If desired, mix cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water and stir into the soup to slightly thicken. Simmer 5 more minutes.
  7. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  8. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • You can use mashed potatoes on top for a layered “pie” effect, then broil briefly for a crust.
  • Swap in sweet potatoes or add corn for variation.
