A hearty and flavorful soup combining ground beef, fresh vegetables, and a touch of red wine for a comforting meal.
Heat a saucepan over medium heat and cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess fat.
Browning the beef properly enhances its flavor and adds depth to the soup.
Add the minced garlic and diced onion to the saucepan and sauté until fragrant and softened.
Cooking the garlic and onion together releases their natural sweetness.
Stir in the tomato sauce, sliced carrots, and mushrooms. Mix well to combine.
Ensure the vegetables are evenly coated with the sauce for consistent cooking.
Pour in the red wine and sprinkle with sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
The red wine adds a rich depth of flavor to the soup.
Cover the saucepan and let the soup simmer on low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with grated parmesan cheese.
Adding the cheese just before serving enhances the soup's richness.
