Step 1

Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the ground beef and onions, and stir continuously. Be sure to break the beef into smaller crumbles while cooking it. When the meat browns, add the minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute.

Step 3

Drain the grease from the Dutch oven. Leave the meat and onions inside.

Step 4

Add all of the remaining ingredients. Pay special attention to the directions about which cans need to be drained and which don't. Stir.

Step 5

Allow the soup to come to a boil. Then, reduce the heat so that it gently simmers. Put the lid on the Dutch oven and allow the soup to simmer for another 10-15 minutes. (The potatoes should be tender enough to cut with a fork.)

Step 6

Remove from heat and transfer to serving bowls. Enjoy!
