Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Beef stew meat
• 3 medium-sized (peeled and sliced) Carrots
• 2 pieces (chopped) Celery stalks
• 2 large (peeled and diced) Russet potatoes
• 1 large (diced) Yellow onion
• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 cup (trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces) Green beans
• 14.5 ounces (1 can, undrained) Diced tomatoes
• 6 cups Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 pieces Bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Frozen peas

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the vegetables by peeling, slicing, and dicing as needed. Set the vegetables aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear the beef stew meat in a bit of oil until browned on all sides (about 5 minutes). This step adds extra flavor but can be skipped if time is limited.

Step 3

Add the seared beef, carrots, celery, potatoes, onion, garlic, green beans, and canned diced tomatoes (with their juice) to the crockpot.

Step 4

Pour in the beef broth and stir in the tomato paste until fully combined. Add the bay leaves, thyme, parsley, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Give everything a good stir, put the lid on the crockpot, and set it to cook on LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 4-5 hours, until the vegetables are tender and the beef is very tender.

Step 6

30 minutes before serving, stir in the frozen peas so they can heat through.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove the bay leaves before serving. Ladle the soup into bowls, and enjoy warm with crusty bread or crackers if desired.
