Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the finely chopped onion, celery, and a big pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
-
Step 2.
Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
-
Step 3.
Add the ground beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Drain off excess fat, then return the pot to the heat.
-
Step 4.
Stir in the diced tomatoes with their juices and the tomato paste until well combined.
-
Step 5.
Add the beef stock, quartered red potatoes, sliced carrots, diced red bell pepper, rinsed kidney beans, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and cayenne. Stir to combine.
-
Step 6.
Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the soup to a boil. Then reduce the heat to low, partially cover the pot, and simmer until the potatoes are tender but not mushy, 30 to 45 minutes.
-
Step 7.
If the soup is too thick, stir in additional beef stock to reach your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, and cayenne if desired.
-
Step 8.
Serve the soup hot with crusty bread on the side.
