- 2 to 4 celery stalks, sliced
- 5 to 6 onions, chopped
- 3 cups cabbage, chopped
- 2 cans (14.5 oz each) stewed tomatoes
- 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons seasoning salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 pounds stew meat, cubed
Instructions
-
Prepare the Vegetables: Begin by peeling and dicing the potatoes, peeling and slicing the carrots, peeling and dicing the turnips, and slicing the celery. Chop the onions and cabbage into bite-sized pieces.
-
Brown the Beef: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed stew meat and cook until browned on all sides. This step adds a rich depth of flavor to your soup.
-
Combine Ingredients: Transfer the browned stew meat to a large soup pot. Add all the prepared vegetables, including the potatoes, carrots, turnips, celery, onions, and cabbage.
-
Add the Liquids: Pour in the stewed tomatoes and tomato sauce. Add enough water to cover the vegetables and meat completely.
-
Season the Soup: Sprinkle in the garlic powder and seasoning salt. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
Cook the Soup: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 3 hours. Stir occasionally, ensuring that the meat becomes tender and the flavors meld together beautifully.
-
Final Adjustments: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If you prefer a thicker consistency, you can simmer it a bit longer to reduce the liquid or mash some of the vegetables.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve immediately. It pairs wonderfully with crusty bread or rolls for a complete meal.
