Homemade Beef Vegetable Soup
Ingredients (Serves 6–8)
- 1 lb (450 g) beef stew meat, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 carrots, sliced
- 2 celery stalks, sliced
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 cup green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 6 cups beef broth (or stock)
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 2 bay leaves
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1/2 cup barley or pasta for extra heartiness
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Brown the beef:
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
- Add beef cubes and brown on all sides (about 5–7 minutes). Remove and set aside.
- Sauté aromatics:
- In the same pot, add onion and garlic. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Add vegetables:
- Add carrots, celery, and potatoes. Stir for a few minutes to combine.
- Add liquids and seasonings:
- Return beef to the pot.
- Add beef broth, diced tomatoes (with juice), thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves.
- Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Simmer:
- Bring soup to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
- Cover and simmer for 1–1.5 hours, or until beef is tender.
- Add remaining vegetables:
- About 15 minutes before serving, add green beans and corn (and barley or pasta, if using).
- Cook until vegetables are tender.
- Adjust seasoning:
- Taste and add more salt, pepper, or herbs if needed.
- Serve:
- Remove bay leaves. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley.
- Serve hot with crusty bread.
💡 Tips for Extra Flavor:
- Sear beef in batches to avoid steaming.
- For richer flavor, roast the tomatoes and vegetables before adding to the pot.
- Leftovers taste even better the next day as the flavors meld.
