Print Recipe

A comforting and nourishing soup loaded with tender beef and vibrant vegetables, perfect for chilly evenings and family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs beef chuck or stew meat, cubed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 bay leaves
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large stock pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and brown them on all sides for about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and fragrant. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Return the beef to the pot, then add the diced tomatoes, beef broth, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
  4. Let the soup simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Add the cubed potatoes to the pot and continue simmering for another 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and remove the bay leaves before serving.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley for added color and flavor.

Notes

For a thicker soup, mash some of the potatoes or add a cornstarch slurry. Leftovers taste even better the next day, and the soup freezes well for up to 3 months.
