Hearty Beef Vegetable Soup

Print Recipe

A comforting and nourishing beef vegetable soup perfect for chilly evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) beef chuck, cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 4 cups (1 litre) beef broth
  • 2 cups (300g) mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn, bell peppers)
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium potatoes, diced
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Brown the beef: In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the beef chunks and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned on all sides (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Sauté the aromatics: Remove the beef and set aside. In the same pot, add the diced onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion turns translucent (around 3-4 minutes).
  3. Add tomato paste: Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another minute, allowing its sweetness to caramelise.
  4. Deglaze the pot: Pour in a splash of beef broth and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits stuck to the bottom.
  5. Incorporate the beef and rest of the ingredients: Return the beef to the pot and add the remaining broth, mixed vegetables, potatoes, diced tomatoes, thyme, and seasoning.
  6. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for at least 90 minutes.
  7. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed before serving.
  8. Serve and enjoy: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs.

Notes

Feel free to customize the soup with different vegetables or grains.
