Amish Comfort in a Bowl: A Hearty, Old-Fashioned One-Pot Supper

How to Make Amish Comfort in a Bowl

1. Brown the Beef

In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Break it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Add the diced onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened.

2. Build the Base

Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beef broth. Add Worcestershire sauce and seasonings. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

3. Add Vegetables

Add potatoes, carrots, green beans, corn, and peas. Stir well to combine.

4. Simmer Slowly

Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 35–45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes and vegetables are tender and the flavors are well blended.

5. Adjust and Serve

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot with crusty bread or simple rolls.

Serving Suggestions

This soup is perfect on its own, but it pairs beautifully with:

• Homemade bread or biscuits

• Saltine crackers or buttered rolls

• A simple side salad

Tips and Variations

• Use ground turkey instead of beef for a lighter version

• Add cabbage or celery if available

• Thicken the soup slightly by mashing a few potato cubes

• Make it in a slow cooker by cooking on LOW for 6–8 hours
