How to make
I love this simple soup! You can make it even faster by pre-browning your ground beef and placing it in freezer bags until you are ready to cook.
Heat oil in dutch oven or large pot and add ground beef, salt and pepper and cooked until almost done. Add diced onion and peppers and cook until soft, about 5-8 minutes.
Next, add brown sugar, Italian seasoning and garlic, continue stirring and cook 1 minute. Stir in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and beef broth, stir until well combined.
Bring the mixture to a boil and reduce heat to simmer and cover. Cook for 45-60 minutes or until heated through and flavors have had a chance to blend well.
Stir in cooked rice and serve immediately.
Top this soup with cheese if desired. It is amazing with some warm crusty bread like this Homemade French Bread.
