Ingredients

• 1 pound beef stew meat
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
• 2 stalks celery stalks, diced
• 8 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
• 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 6 cups beef broth
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 bay leaf
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Season the beef stew meat with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 3

Add the beef to the hot pot and brown on all sides for about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Step 4

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pot, then stir in the diced onion, minced garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

Step 5

Add the sliced button and cremini mushrooms to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes until they release their moisture and begin to brown.

Step 6

Return the beef to the pot, then pour in the beef broth. Stir in the dried thyme, bay leaf, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 7

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the soup simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Add the diced potatoes to the pot and cook for an additional 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 9

Remove and discard the bay leaf. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Step 10

Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot.
