This flavorful ground beef soup is an excellent choice for an everyday fall or winter meal, and it is packed with nutrients. Canned black-eyed peas add protein and make for easy preparation. And it's a hearty, satisfying soup.

We enjoy this soup with freshly baked cornbread. Biscuits would be good with the soup as well. Add a tossed salad for a fabulous family lunch or dinner.

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 pound lean ground beef
1 medium onion (chopped)
2 small cloves garlic (minced)
2 medium carrots (diced)
2 cups chopped kale
2 cups beef stock or broth (low sodium or unsalted)
1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes (undrained)
1 can (15 ounces) black-eyed peas (drained and rinsed)
1 cup corn kernels
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Heat oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-low heat.
Add the ground beef and onion; saute, stirring, until the ground beef is no longer pink and onions are lightly browned.
Add the minced garlic and carrots and cook for 1 minute longer.
Add the beef stock or broth and bring to a boil. Simmer for 10 minutes.
Add the kale, tomatoes, black-eyed peas, corn, and seasonings. Cover and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes.
Serve with hot baked cornbread or corn muffins.
Enjoy!

Tips and Variations
