📝 Instructions

9 steps

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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