Vegetable Soup Heart

Methods:

1. Open the ground meat in a saucepan over medium-high heat.
2. Cooking and stirring until the meat falls apart, and browns and is no longer pink, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain and discard any excess fat.
3. Stir the carrots, celery and onions into the ground meat.
4. Cook and stir until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
5. Add potatoes, tomato sauce, whole crushed tomatoes, unseasoned peas, corn and green beans to pot.
6. Season with black pepper.
7. Stir the mixture until it blends.
8. Add the thyme and bay leaf to the skillet.
9. Pour 1/4 cup water over the dough if needed to moisten the dough, replenishing as needed while baking.
10. Bring the soup to a boil, place a lid on the saucepan and cook, stirring regularly, until the potatoes are tender, about 1 hour.

Enjoy!
