Robust Beef and Potato Soup image

The October 11-17, 2009 issue of the American Profile in my Saturday newspaper insert was entitled "Soup's On" A former Navy Seabee (Ken Haedrich) builds hearty soups for the fall and this is one of the soups that looked delicious to me. The recipes are from Ken's book Soup Makes the Meal (Harvard Common Press, 2001). Ken Haedrich says: This one is for the meat and potato lovers of the world. It has all the flavor and aroma of beef stew, and like stew, it tastes better on the second day. To make this even more stew-like, add some green beans or frozen lima beans

Tips:

  • Use high-quality beef: Opt for a leaner cut of beef, such as chuck roast or flank steak, to ensure a flavorful and tender soup. If using ground beef, choose a leaner variety to reduce the fat content.
  • Brown the beef well: Browning the beef before adding it to the soup helps to develop its flavor and create a richer broth. Make sure to brown the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and steaming the meat.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Incorporate a variety of vegetables into your soup to add flavor, texture, and nutrients. Some popular choices include potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, and garlic.
  • Season the soup well: Don't be afraid to season your soup generously. Common seasonings include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: Simmering the soup allows the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the soup, the more flavorful it will be.
