Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 | stew beef chunks |
| 1 1/2 | corn |
| 3 1/2 | water |
| 2 | onions |
| 1 | onion |
| 1 | potato |
| 1 | salt |
| 1 | spinach |
| 1/2 | thyme |
| 1 | green beans |
| 1/2 | green peas |
| 1 | carrots |
| 6 | lima beans |
| 1 | celery |
| 3 | ketchup |
| 1 | green pepper |
| 1 | parsley |
| 2 | tomatoes |
Instructions:
- In a large kettle, cover the stew beef chunks with water and add chopped onions, salt, and thyme.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, skim any excess fat from the surface of the liquid.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the kettle, and simmer for 3-4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the beef to become tender.
- After simmering, add all the remaining ingredients to the pot – corn, chopped onion, potato, spinach, green beans, green peas, carrots, lima beans, celery, ketchup, green pepper, parsley, and tomatoes.
- Cover the pot once again and simmer for an additional 30 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften and the flavors to marry.
- Taste the stoup and adjust the seasoning according to your preference.
- Note: If you prefer a thicker consistency, you can add a torn-up piece of bread or two to the pot, stir well, and continue to simmer until fully incorporated.
