Vegetable Beef Soup Recipe
Description
The Vegetable Beef Soup is prepared by browning beef stew meat and softening onions before adding beef broth, canned tomatoes, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. This base simmers until the beef is tender, which may take up to 75 minutes depending on cut and size.
Potatoes, carrots, and celery are then added and cooked until tender, followed by green beans and green onions for a final simmer. Fresh parsley is stirred in at the end for brightness. The soup offers a balanced texture with tender, flavorful beef and a variety of cooked vegetables in a rich broth.
This soup can serve as a nutritious main dish, especially in cooler weather. It pairs well with bread for a wholesome meal. Cooking time may vary with beef, so adjust to ensure the meat is fork-tender.

- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 lb beef stew meat
- 1 onion 1 1/2 cups finely diced, medium

- Add in green beans and green onion and simmer for 10 more minutes.
