Awesome Beef Vegetable Soup

1 tablespoon butter

¼ cup chopped onion

1 clove garlic, chopped

½ teaspoon prepared horseradish

1 ½ pounds ground beef

2 (28 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, undrained

3 ½ cups water

5 potatoes, chopped

1 (10 ounce) package frozen mixed vegetables

½ cup chopped carrots

1 (10 ounce) package frozen corn

1 tablespoon butter-flavored granules (such as Butter Buds®)

1 teaspoon dill seasoning

1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

grated Parmesan cheese to taste

salt and ground black pepper to taste

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat, and stir in the onion, garlic, and horseradish. Cook and stir until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes, then mix in the ground beef. Cook and stir the ground beef until evenly browned, no longer pink, and crumbly. Drain excess fat, and transfer the cooked beef mixture into a large soup pot.

Mix in the tomatoes, water, potatoes, mixed vegetables, carrots, corn, butter-flavored granules, dill seasoning, hot pepper sauce, and cinnamon, and stir to thoroughly combine. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 1 hour. Stir occasionally. Before serving, season to taste with Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.
