Instructions

In a large soup pot, heat the vegetable oil (1 tablespoon). Add the ground beef (2 pounds), seasoned salt (2 teaspoons), black pepper (1/2--1 teaspoon), and Italian seasonings (2 teaspoons), then cook and crumble the beef over medium-high heat, until there is no longer any pink.
Transfer cooked beef to a paper towel lined plate. Drain and discard all but 2 tablespoon of the pan of grease from pan. If you don't have 2 tablespoons in the pan, add the difference with vegetable oil.
Add the onion (1), carrots (2 cups), and celery (4 stalks) to the pot and saute, over medium heat until the vegetables are tender.
Return the cooked beef back to pot.
Add red kidney beans (1 can), pinto beans (1 can), whole kernel corn (2 cans), diced tomatoes (2 cans), tomato soup (1 can), and russet potatoes (2 pounds). Bring the soup to a boil, reduce heat immediately, and simmer, slightly covered, until potatoes are fork tender, about 30-40 minutes.

Notes

Sauteing Veggies – You’ll want to sauté your veggies in the pan drippings where you cooked your ground beef. Sautéing veggies is important to coax out all those sweeter characteristics. Plus, it adds so much incredible flavor to your stew. Here’s an article explaining all the science.
