Ingredients
  

1 lb beef stew meat, cut into bite-sized pieces

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 large onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

3 medium carrots, sliced

2 stalks celery, sliced

2 medium potatoes, diced

1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained

6 cups beef broth

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 bay leaf

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 cups fresh spinach (optional)

Instructions
 

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef stew meat and brown on all sides, approximately 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.

    In the same pot, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

      Add the sliced carrots, celery, and potatoes to the pot. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

        Return the browned beef to the pot, then add the green beans, diced tomatoes, beef broth, thyme, oregano, bay leaf, salt, and pepper.

          Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender.

            If using, stir in the fresh spinach just before serving, allowing it to wilt for about 2 minutes.

              Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot and enjoy your homemade vegetable beef soup!
