  2. Stir in 4 beef bouillon cubes and 4 cloves minced garlic.
  3. In a separate skillet, brown 1.5 lbs ground beef and 1 large onion (chopped) over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  4. Add the browned beef and onion mixture to the pot with the vegetables and broth.
  5. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. (Optional) For a slow cooker: Brown the beef and onions as directed above. Combine all ingredients in your slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
