Ingredients

  • 1 lb beef stew meat cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 carrots peeled and diced
  • 2 celery stalks chopped
  • 1 bell pepper chopped
  • 2 cups potatoes diced
  • 1 cup green beans chopped
  • 1 can 15 oz diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups kale or spinach chopped

Instructions

  • In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef stew meat and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the beef and set it aside.
  • In the same pot, toss in the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, celery, and bell pepper. Sauté the veggies for about 5 minutes until the onions are soft and translucent.
  • Add the diced potatoes, green beans, diced tomatoes, and browned beef back into the pot. Stir to combine.
  • Pour in the beef broth, followed by the dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
  • Lower the heat, cover the pot, and let everything simmer for about 1.5 hours, allowing the flavors to meld.
  • Once the soup has simmered, add in the chopped kale or spinach, and continue to cook for another 15-20 minutes, until the greens are tender.
  • Serve and enjoy your delicious, hearty vegetable beef soup!

Notes

  • For a tender, flavorful soup, opt for cuts like stew meat, chuck roast, or sirloin.
  • Browning the beef first enhances the flavor and creates a richer broth.
  • Be sure to let the beef simmer gently, but avoid overcooking the vegetables for the best texture.
  • Adjust the seasoning to your taste, adding more salt or pepper as needed.
  • Chopping all the ingredients into similar sizes helps them cook evenly.
