Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 large onion, diced
• 2 stalks celery, diced
• 3 medium carrots, sliced
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
• 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 cup kernels of corn (fresh, canned, or frozen)
• 6 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 whole bay leaf

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Season the beef stew meat with a pinch of salt and pepper, then sear the meat in the hot oil until browned on all sides. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pot. Remove the beef and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion and celery. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Add the sliced carrots, diced potatoes, canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), green beans, and corn to the pot. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Return the browned beef to the pot, along with the beef broth, parsley, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Bring the soup to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Step 10

Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot with crusty bread or your favorite crackers.
