Ingredients

• 1 pound beef chuck roast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 3 medium carrots
• 3 stalks celery stalks
• 1 large sweet potato
• 1 medium zucchini
• 1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes
• 6 cups beef broth
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups spinach leaves

Directions

Step 1

Cut the beef chuck roast into 1-inch cubes. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the beef pieces to season.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes in batches to avoid overcrowding. Sear all sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.

Step 3

Dice the onion and mince the garlic. In the same pot, add the onion and garlic, sautéing for about 5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 4

Peel and chop the carrots and sweet potato into bite-sized pieces. Slice the celery and zucchini. Add these vegetables to the pot and sauté for another 5 minutes.

Step 5

Return the beef to the pot and add in the diced tomatoes, beef broth, bay leaf, and fresh thyme.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the soup simmer for about 90 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender.

Step 7

Add spinach leaves in the last 5 minutes of cooking. Stir to wilt the spinach.

Step 8

Remove the bay leaf before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 9

Serve hot and enjoy your Paleo Hearty Beef and Vegetable Soup!
