Ingredients

Scale

Meat & Protein

1 lb ground beef
4 slices smoked turkey bacon

Vegetables

2 carrots, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 onion, chopped
3 potatoes, peeled and diced
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes (natural)

Liquids & Sauces

4 cups beef broth
2 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Seasonings & Others

2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp natural gelling agent

Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients: Chop vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Cook the smoked turkey bacon in a skillet until golden and crispy. Brown the ground beef gently in the skillet to lock in flavor.
Layer the Crock Pot: Add the browned ground beef, cooked smoked turkey bacon, and chopped vegetables to the crock pot. Pour in beef broth and diced tomatoes. Season with garlic, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, paprika, black pepper, and the natural gelling agent.
Slow Cook to Perfection: Set the crock pot to low and cook for 6 to 8 hours. This slow simmer allows flavors to meld and vegetables to become tender.
Final Touches: Stir the soup before serving and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Ensure potatoes are tender and broth slightly thickened to a perfect consistency.

Notes

Use lean ground beef to reduce grease while keeping meaty richness.
Sauté vegetables beforehand to enhance sweetness and texture.
Do not skip the smoked turkey bacon for smoky depth.
Check liquid levels during cooking; add broth or water if soup thickens too much.
Season gradually and taste halfway through cooking to adjust flavors.
