- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 carrots, sliced
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 2 potatoes, peeled and cubed

👩🍳 How to Make It
1. Brown the Beef
In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the beef and brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.
2. Sauté the Veggies
In the same pot, sauté the onions, carrots, and celery until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
3. Add Remaining Ingredients
Return the beef to the pot. Stir in the potatoes, tomatoes, beef broth, herbs, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
4. Simmer to Perfection
Reduce heat and let the soup simmer for 45–60 minutes, until the beef is tender and the flavors have blended beautifully.
