Granny's Okra Soup
Granny's Okra Soup is a cozy Southern-style pot brimming with tender okra, tomatoes, lima beans, and potatoes, enriched with well-seasoned ground beef. It simmers until the broth turns robust and tomato-forward, with sweet corn and green beans adding pops of texture. Ideal for a comforting dinner on cool evenings or when you’re craving a nostalgic, homespun bowl.

Combine tomatoes, lima beans, okra, potatoes, corn, green beans, carrots, and tomato paste in a large soup pot. Pour chicken stock over the mixture and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until the vegetables start to soften, about 15 minutes.

Season the ground beef with garlic powder, celery salt, and onion powder. Set aside.

Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic when the butter stops bubbling, then cook and stir for 1 minute. Spread the ground beef evenly in the pan. Cook until it develops a good brown sear, stirring as little as possible to keep mostly medium-sized chunks, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain the skillet and add the beef, onions, and garlic to the soup pot.
