Time 2h5m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1.5 tbsp olive oil (, separated)
500g/1 lb stewing beef (, cut into 1.75cm / 2/3" cubes (Note 1))
1/2 tsp salt and pepper
1 onion (, chopped)
3 garlic (, minced (1 tbsp))
2 celery (, cut into 0.8 cm / 1/3" slices)
3 carrots (, cut into 0.5 cm / 1/5" thick slices (halve larger ones))
4 tbsp flour
2 1/2 cups (625ml) beef broth/stock (, low sodium)
1 1/2 cups (375ml) dry red wine, Guinness beer or stout ((Note 2))
1.5 cups (375ml) water
2 tbsp tomato paste
2 bay leaves
1 tsp thyme dried
1 cup frozen peas
2 potatoes ((any), cut into 1.5cm / 2/3" cubes)
1 tbsp (15g) butter or oil
200g/ 6oz small mushrooms (, quartered or halved)

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tbsp oil until very hot in a large, heavy based pot over high heat.
  • Pat beef dry with paper towels, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Brown beef aggressively in 2 or 3 batches, adding more oil if needed. Remove browned beef into a bowl.
  • If pot looks dry, add a touch more oil.
  • Add garlic and onion, cook for 2 minutes.
  • Add carrot and celery, cook for 2 minutes or until onion is translucent.
  • Stir in flour, then slowly pour in beef broth while constantly stirring.
  • Add beer, water, tomato paste, bay leaves and thyme, stir well. Then add the beef back in.
  • Cover, adjust heat to medium low so it's bubbling gently. Simmer 1 hr 15 min or until beef is pretty tender.
  • Add potatoes and peas, simmer for a further 20 minutes without the lid. Add cooked mushrooms in the last 5 minutes.
  • The soup is ready when the potatoes are cooked and beef is very tender (see video).
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste (I like lots of pepper in this!).
  • Ladle into bowls. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with crusty bread if desired. Try quick Cheesy Garlic Bread or super easy Irish Soda Bread!

VEGETABLE BEEF SOUP - BASIC RECIPE



Vegetable Beef Soup - Basic Recipe image

My mother never made soup from scratch so I never learned how. After trying a number of soup recipes from Zaar, I came up with this recipe as a guideline for a basic veggie beef soup. I often throw in whatever veggies I have around so the soup is never exactly the same two times running; however, soup-making isn't an exact science as is baking. I'm posting the recipe so that I can give it out easily; evidently, folks seem to really like it!

Time 1h5m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb ground round
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped carrot
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 cups tomato juice or 3 cups v 8 vegetable juice
2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans condensed beef broth
2 1/2 cups water
1 (15 ounce) can cut green beans, drained
3 cups vegetables, of choice (yellow corn, shoe-peg corn, lima or butter beans, green peas, large potato, peeled and diced, whatev)
1 1/2 tablespoons parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Brown meat in large pot along w/ onions, celery, and carrots.
  • Add remaining ingredients, bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat, cover and simmer 30-45 mins til veggies and barley are done.
  • Note #1: I've been adding ½ cup pearl barley to the soup, which will be done in the amount of simmering time. Quick barley takes only 10 minutes to cook so you could add later.
  • Note #2: I've found that adding pasta, while good at first, it continues to absorb the soup liquid and get really big and the soup becomes more like a stew. If you'd like noodles, I would cook them separately and add them to the bowl just before ladling in the soup.
  • Note #3: You could also add rice, if you would like.

Yield 8 to 10 servings

14-ounce piece lean salt pork or 1 tablespoon vegetable or canola oil
3 marrow bones
1 1/2 pounds beef stew meat (rump or shoulder), cut into 2-inch pieces
1 28-ounce can whole tomatoes, drained and coarsely chopped
3 carrots, peeled and sliced

Steps:

  • Heat a heavy 6-quart pot over medium heat. Add the salt pork and sauté until golden. Remove it and set aside. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of the drippings.
  • Increase the heat to medium-high (add vegetable oil, if using). In batches, brown the marrow bones and stew meat. Add 3 quarts of water and the salt pork. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 2 hours, skimming off any foam.

If not serving immediately, refrigerate after it cools. Before reheating, skim off any congealed fat. If it is too thick, thin with a bit of water.

OLD-FASHIONED VEGETABLE BEEF SOUP



Old-Fashioned Vegetable Beef Soup image

Better than Campbell's but just as comforting! Loosely based on a gourmet cooking magazine's recipe for Beef Barley soup, I didn't have any barley or okra, so I added root veggies to make it more hearty, like a rich broth with the chunkyness of stew. It turned out to be the best soup I've ever made! DH, stepson and baby girl kept coming back for more.
