Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Beef (chuck roast or stew meat)
- 2 medium Potatoes (diced)
- 2 large Carrots (sliced)
- 1 cup Frozen Peas
- 1 can Canned Tomatoes (diced or crushed)
Instructions
- Brown the beef by heating olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sear until deeply browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add a chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until fragrant.
- Incorporate the diced potatoes, sliced carrots, and peas. Mix and let the veggies soak in the flavors for about 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in the can of diced tomatoes (juice and all), and fill the can with water and add to the pot. Stir to combine.
- Simmer by bringing to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Let simmer for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Final touches include tasting and adjusting seasoning as needed during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
- Serve hot, ideally with crusty bread, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley on top for added freshness.
Notes
For variations, try adding green chilies for a spicy kick or fresh herbs for added depth. This soup can be made ahead and freezes well.
