How to Make It
Step 1
Chop the onion, mince the garlic, cut the zucchini into thick quarters, chop the cauliflower into small florets, and dice the carrot. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the ground beef, breaking it into small pieces with a spoon. Cook until the ground beef is mostly browned and no longer pink.
Step 2
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot with the beef. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Ensure that the bottom of the pot does not burn by stirring frequently.
Step 3
Sprinkle in the chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir well to evenly coat the beef mixture with the spices.
Step 4
Add the zucchini, cauliflower, carrot, diced tomatoes, beans, and beef broth to the pot. Stir everything together to combine.
Step 5
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Step 6
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot and enjoy this cozy, hearty soup! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze for longer storage.
