I love a good soup recipe. Even better if it’s made in a single pot. I’m all about less mess in the kitchen. Take for example my Corn Chowder with Andouille Sausage – another one pot soup that’s fantastic and flavorful.
My one pot beef tortellini soup can’t be easier to make. Plus, it’s filled to the brim with flavor – all from simple herbs and spices in the kitchen.
One pan meals are a favorite of mine. Who likes dirtying multiple dishes for a single meal? If possible, I try to consolidate down to as few pans as possible. That’s what I did with this soup recipe today. You’ll love it because not only is there hardly any cleanup, it’s so tasty! You’ll want to add this to your weekly dinner lineup, especially in the colder months.
One step in this recipe helps to add a ton of flavor to your soup. When cooking your ground beef, let it sit in the pan undisturbed long enough to brown and caramelize. Browning your beef will add tons of flavor without adding any extra ingredients to your recipe. Your ground beef shouldn’t be grey and uniform in color. Sear your beef and it will have a caramelized, rich brown color. That’s what I call flavor.
Simply add your beef to the pan and distribute evenly into a single layer. Allow the beef to cook for several minutes undisturbed. No need to poke and shift it around in the pan, unless you are breaking up larger pieces. When using a stainless steel pan, you’ll know the beef is ready when it lifts easily from the pan. If it sticks, that’s because it’s not ready or the heat is too high.
