Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1.5 pounds stew beef (cut into bite-sized cubes)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 3 large carrots (sliced)
• 3 stalks celery (sliced)
• 2 medium russet potatoes (peeled and diced)
• 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes (canned, with juice)
• 6 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup green beans (trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces)
• 1 cup corn kernels (frozen or fresh)
• 1 leaf bay leaf
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Season the beef with salt and pepper, then add it to the pot. Sear the beef on all sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the carrots, celery, and potatoes to the pot. Stir and cook for 4-5 minutes to begin softening the vegetables.

Step 5

Return the beef to the pot, then add the diced tomatoes (with their juice), beef broth, tomato paste, bay leaf, and dried thyme. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the beef to become tender and the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Add the green beans and corn to the pot. Simmer uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes until the beans are tender.

Step 8

Remove the bay leaf and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve hot.
