• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 large onion (diced)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 medium carrots (sliced)
• 2 stalks celery (sliced)
• 3 medium potatoes (peeled and cubed)
• 1 cup green beans (trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces)
• 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 6 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Season the stew beef with salt and black pepper. Add the beef to the pot and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the carrots, celery, potatoes, and green beans to the pot. Stir to combine with the onions and garlic.

Step 5

Return the browned beef to the pot, along with the canned diced tomatoes, beef broth, and tomato paste. Stir until the tomato paste is dissolved.

Step 6

Add the dried thyme and dried oregano. Bring the soup to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 45 minutes.

Step 7

Stir the soup occasionally to ensure even cooking. After 45 minutes, add the frozen peas and stir them into the soup. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove the pot from heat and stir in the chopped parsley for a burst of fresh flavor.

Step 10

Serve the soup hot with your favorite bread or crackers for a complete meal. Enjoy!
