How to Make Beefy Vegetable Soup

  1. In a large (6-quart) kettle or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown 1.5 lbs beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes, in batches, until nicely browned. Remove beef and set aside.
  2. Add 1 large onion, chopped, and 2 stalks celery, chopped, to the pot and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in 6 cups beef broth, 2 cups water, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce.
  4. Return the beef to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.
  5. Add 2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed, 1 cup carrots, peeled and sliced, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1 tsp dried rosemary, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  6. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until potatoes and carrots are tender.
  7. Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can of corn, drained, and 1 cup green beans, trimmed and halved.
  8. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until green beans are tender.
  9. Stir in 2 tablespoons of steak sauce before serving (optional, for extra richness).
  10. Serve hot and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
