In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Add the cubed beef chuck and brown the meat on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, or until the meat and vegetables are tender.

Step 9

Remove the bay leaf from the pot and discard it.

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary.
