Recipe Instructions
-
Prepare the Beef: In a Dutch oven or large pot, brown the bite-size pieces of beef over medium-high heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
-
Saute Onion and Garlic: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Saute until the onion becomes translucent and garlic is fragrant.
-
Add Liquid Ingredients: Pour in the water, tomato juice, and add the tomato sauce. Stir to combine.
-
Incorporate Seasonings: Add the bay leaf, stewed tomatoes (including the juice from the can), and crumble in the beef bouillon cube or add your preferred seasoning.

Simmer: Bring the mixture to a low simmer. If you’re using fresh vegetables, add them now. Cover the pot and cook for 20 minutes to half an hour, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Add Vegetables: If using frozen vegetables, add them after the initial simmering period. Continue cooking the soup covered on low heat for an additional 1 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beef and vegetables are tender and the flavors have developed.
