Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.

Step 6

Pour in the beef broth and diced tomatoes (with their juices). Bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, uncovered, allowing the flavors to meld together.
