Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound stew beef (cut into 1-inch cubes)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 large yellow onion (diced)
• 3 medium carrots (peeled and sliced)
• 2 medium celery stalks (sliced)
• 2 medium russet potatoes (peeled and cubed)
• 3 count garlic cloves (minced)
• 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes (canned with juice)
• 6 cups beef broth
• 1 cup frozen green beans
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 count bay leaf
• 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Season the beef cubes with salt and pepper, then add them to the pot. Sear the beef for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides. Remove the beef and set aside.

Step 3

Lower the heat to medium. Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and sliced celery to the pot. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 5

Return the beef to the pot and add the cubed potatoes, canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), and beef broth. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Add the thyme, oregano, and bay leaf. Bring the soup to a boil over high heat.

Step 7

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let the soup simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

After 1 hour, add the frozen green beans and frozen corn. Stir well and continue to simmer for an additional 20-30 minutes, until the beef is tender and vegetables are fully cooked.

Step 9

Remove the bay leaf and discard it. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.

Step 10

Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve warm.
