Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound beef stew meat 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 cup green beans chopped
  • 1 cup potatoes diced
  • 1 can 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups kale or spinach chopped (optional)

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the beef stew meat and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in the carrots, celery, green beans, and potatoes. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Pour in the diced tomatoes and beef broth. Add the dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the beef is tender.
  6. If using, stir in the chopped kale or spinach during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving.

Notes

  • For a thicker soup, you can mash some of the potatoes against the side of the pot before serving.
  • If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce during cooking.
