Preparation
  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the beef pieces to the pot, browning them on all sides. This locks in the juices and gives your soup a deep flavor.
  4. Once the beef is browned, add the carrots, celery, and potatoes. Sauté for 2-3 minutes just to begin softening the vegetables.
  5. Pour in the beef broth and diced tomatoes, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  6. Once boiling, add the thyme, salt, and pepper. Reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for about 45 minutes, or until the beef is tender.
  7. Taste the soup before serving and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
