How to Prepare Beef Soup Recipe
🔥 Heat oil in a pot on medium-high heat until hot. 🥩 Add beef stew pieces in batches to avoid overcrowding; ensure they sizzle and caramelize on each side. Season with salt and pepper. Remove and set aside once browned. 🧅 Reduce heat to medium-low and add onions and celery to the pot, stirring. Add garlic and stir. 💦 Deglaze the pot with a splash of water or stock. Add tomato sauce and Italian seasoning. 🌿 Return the meat to the pot, add beef broth and water, and a bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, partially cover, and simmer for 1.5 hours. 🥔 After 1.5 hours, add potatoes and carrots and cook for 20 minutes. ❄️ Add frozen peas and parsley in the last 5 minutes. Remove from heat and enjoy.
