Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound stewing beef, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 large onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 3 medium carrots, peeled and diced
• 2 stalks celery stalks, diced
• 1 large Russet potato, peeled and cubed
• 1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes (with juice)
• 6 cups beef broth
• 1 cup kernel corn (frozen or canned, drained)
• 1 cup peas (frozen)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Season the stewing beef with salt and black pepper. Add the beef to the pot and sear on all sides until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the diced carrots, celery, and potato. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Return the browned beef to the pot and pour in the beef broth, canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), and green beans. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 60 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

Step 7

Stir in the corn and peas, and simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes until heated through.

Step 8

Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
