Ingredients

• 1 pound Beef stew meat
• 3 medium Carrots, peeled and diced
• 2 Celery stalks, diced
• 2 large Russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 medium Onion, diced
• 1 cup Frozen green beans
• 14.5 ounces Canned diced tomatoes (with juice)
• 4 cups Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 3 cloves Minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for browning beef)

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef stew meat, season lightly with salt and pepper, and brown for 2-3 minutes on each side. This step is optional but adds depth of flavor.

Step 2

Transfer the browned beef to a 6-quart crockpot.

Step 3

Add the diced carrots, celery, potatoes, onion, and frozen green beans to the crockpot.

Step 4

Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juice), beef broth, and tomato paste. Stir gently to combine.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic, dried thyme, dried parsley, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well.

Step 6

Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to cook on LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 4 hours. Resist the urge to lift the lid while cooking to avoid releasing heat.

Step 7

After the cooking time is complete, taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 8

Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers, and enjoy!
