Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound beef stew meat, cut into cubes
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (carrots, potatoes, peas, green beans)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 ounces)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion turns translucent and fragrant.
  2. Add the beef stew meat to the pot. Brown the meat on all sides for about five minutes.
  3. Pour in the beef broth along with the can of diced tomatoes. Add your mixed vegetables. Season with thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for at least one hour.
  5. After simmering, taste the soup and adjust the seasonings as needed. Serve hot.

Notes

Consider browning the beef in batches for better flavor. Customize your vegetables according to the season. This soup can be stored in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or frozen for 2-3 months. Reheat gently on the stovetop and add some broth or water if needed.
