Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound stewing beef, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
• 2 stalks celery stalks, sliced
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes, with juice
• 6 cups low-sodium beef broth
• 1 piece bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 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

Add the stewing beef to the pot and sear until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Return the browned beef to the pot. Add the carrots, celery, potatoes, green beans, and frozen corn.

Step 5

Pour in the diced tomatoes, along with their juice, and the beef broth.

Step 6

Stir in the bay leaf, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the soup simmer for 60-75 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Step 10

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