This hearty ground meat and vegetable soup is a dish that has been on our family's table for years. I originally got it from a friend who was always looking for quick and easy recipes that would still fill the whole family up. Over the years I have adapted and refined it again and again until it has become what it is today: A real feel-good classic. The secret of this soup lies in the combination of ingredients. The ground meat provides a hearty base and provides the necessary satiety. I prefer to use mixed ground meat, as it is a little juicier than pure ground beef. The onions form the aromatic foundation, while the peppers with their sweetness and freshness provide a nice contrast to the hearty ground meat. The mushrooms and corn bring an additional texture and a slightly sweet taste to the soup. The diced tomatoes with herbs provide a fruity note and a slight acidity that perfectly balances the dish. The cream cheese gives the soup a creamy consistency and a mild, slightly cheesy taste. When preparing in the Thermomix®, it is important not to chop the onions too finely, as they can burn when sautéing. Make sure the ground meat is well browned before adding the vegetables. Browning adds roasted aromas that give the soup an extra flavor. Simmering the vegetables with reverse rotation prevents them from being chopped too finely. The cooking time of 10 minutes is sufficient to heat all the ingredients and melt the cream cheese. Seasoning is the be-all and end-all! Here you can let your creativity run wild and adjust the soup to your taste. There are many variations. For a vegetarian version, you can simply omit the ground meat or replace it with a plant-based alternative. Tofu or soy granules are well suited for this. To make the soup vegan, you can use plant-based alternatives instead of cream and cream cheese. Cashew cream or soy cuisine are good options. You can experiment with the spices. Garlic, chili or paprika powder give the soup an extra spice. Fresh herbs such as parsley or chives also go perfectly with it. The soup is best served hot with a dollop of sour cream or a spoonful of yogurt. Grated Parmesan rounds off the dish. A crispy baguette or ciabatta goes well with it to soak up the delicious sauce. The soup is also ideal as a pasta sauce. Simply use a little less broth and mix with cooked pasta. The soup can be prepared well in advance and stored in the refrigerator. It can be kept there for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it in portions and thaw it as needed. This way you always have a quick and tasty meal at hand.
