How to Make Beef And Tortellini Soup

1. Place 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour in a large resealable plastic bag.
2. Add 1 lb beef stew meat, a few pieces at a time, shaking to coat evenly with flour.
3. In a large nonstick Dutch oven, brown the beef in 2 teaspoons butter over medium-high heat. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
4. Remove the browned beef from the pot and set aside, keeping warm.
5. In the same Dutch oven, sauté 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), 1 medium carrot (chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced) in the remaining butter until softened (about 5-7 minutes).
6. Add one (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 4 cups beef broth, 1 cup water, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir in the reserved beef.
7. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
8. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
9. Add 1 (9 ounce) package cheese tortellini.
10. Cook for 5-10 minutes, or until the tortellini is tender.
11. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 1/4 cup cold water until smooth to create a slurry.
12. Stir the flour slurry into the soup.
13. Bring the soup back to a boil, then reduce heat and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes, or until thickened.
14. Serve hot and enjoy!
