Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb beef, cut into cubes
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 2 potatoes, diced
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Sizzle the beef: In a large pot, heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes in batches and sear until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
  2. Sauté the aromatics: In the same pot, add more olive oil if necessary, then add onions and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes, then add garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Layer in the veggies: Add carrots and potatoes, stirring for another 3-4 minutes.
  4. Pour in the good stuff: Add browned beef, diced tomatoes, and beef broth. Stir and scrape bits from the pot.
  5. Season it right: Add thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then simmer uncovered for about 45 minutes.
  6. Taste and adjust: After 45 minutes, taste the soup and adjust seasoning as needed.
  7. Get ready to serve: Serve hot in bowls, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Serve with warm, crusty bread or a fresh salad. Add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
