• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 3 medium carrots (sliced into rounds)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Season the cubed stewing beef with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Add the beef to the pot in batches, searing each side until browned, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Remove the beef and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Add the carrots, celery, and potatoes to the pot, stirring well to combine.

Step 7

Stir in the canned diced tomatoes along with their juices.

Step 8

Return the seared beef to the pot and pour in the beef broth, making sure everything is submerged.

Step 9

Add the bay leaf and dried thyme, then bring the soup to a gentle boil.

Step 10

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let it simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

Step 11

After 1 hour, stir in the frozen green beans and peas. Simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Step 12

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper, if required.

Step 13

Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Step 14

Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve warm with crusty bread if desired.
