Print Recipe

A comforting and hearty one-pot Vegetable Beef Soup featuring tender beef chuck, aromatic herbs, and a colorful variety of vegetables simmered to perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, with juices
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, corn, and green beans)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and brown them on all sides (5-7 minutes). Remove beef and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, sauté the chopped onion until translucent (3-4 minutes). Add minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add sliced carrots, celery, and bell pepper. Cook for 5 minutes until they start to soften.
  4. Return the beef to the pot. Add diced tomatoes, beef broth, water, thyme, oregano, bay leaf, salt, and pepper.
  5. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 1 hour.
  6. Add frozen mixed vegetables and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for another 15-20 minutes until beef and vegetables are tender.
  7. Remove the bay leaf and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For even more flavor, sear the beef in batches to ensure proper browning.
  • You can substitute beef chuck with stew meat if preferred.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Pairs perfectly with crusty sourdough or garlic bread.
