Beef vegetable soup is healthy, versatile and easy to make.
A hearty beef and vegetable soup is hard to beat--especially if it's homemade. You can use any mix of vegetables you prefer. They will mix their flavors in the broth, yielding a delicious soup every time.
Instructions
1. Coat the cubes of beef with cornstarch. Heat up the olive oil in a large pot and add the beef. Stirring frequently, cook until the beef is browned on all sides.
2. Add the onion and celery and cook over a medium flame for approximately four minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.
3. Add the beef broth and diced tomatoes to the pot. Scrape free any browned bits on the bottom of the pot and stir in the bay leaves and dried thyme.
4. Add the diced and chopped vegetables, as well as the frozen corn.
5. Bring the soup to a boil and then allow to simmer, covered, over a very low heat for 1 hour, or at least until the potatoes are cooked through. The beef will become increasingly tender the longer it is cooked.
