Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the beef stew meat and sear until browned on all sides, about 5-6 minutes. Remove from the pot and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the potatoes, green beans, and the browned beef back into the pot.

Step 6

Pour in the diced tomatoes (with juices) and the beef broth.

Step 7

Stir in the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper.

Step 8

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the soup simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

After 45 minutes, add the frozen peas and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 10

Taste the soup and adjust seasonings if needed. Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers on the side.
