Beef Soup Provencal image

I clipped this from the Star-Telegram several years ago. I always love making this in the fall/winter for a weekday dinner and use the leftovers for lunch. Serve with salad and crackers or nice bread. The smell of the herbs is awesome!! Note: You can buy Herbes de Provence in the spice section, but you may also use 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves and 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary leaves, crushed, to substitute.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used tofu instead of beef. It turned out great!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out bland and watery. I'll have to try it again.

This soup is a bit time-consuming to make, but it's worth the effort. The flavors are amazing.

I added some chopped carrots and celery to the soup, and it turned out even better.

I'm not a big fan of fennel, so I omitted it from the recipe. The soup still turned out great.

I made this soup in my slow cooker, and it was perfect for a cold winter day. The beef was so tender and the vegetables were cooked to perfection.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover beef. I made it with some leftover pot roast, and it turned out delicious.

I was disappointed with this soup. The broth was bland and the beef was tough. I won't be making this again.

This soup was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll try it again with half the amount of salt.

This soup is amazing! The flavors are so well-balanced, and the beef is so tender. I will definitely be making this again.

I've made this soup several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The beef is always tender and flavorful, and the broth is rich and savory. I love serving this soup with a crusty baguette and a green salad.

This Provencal beef soup was a hit with my family! The flavors were rich and complex, and the meat was fall-apart tender. I especially loved the addition of the fennel and saffron, which gave the soup a unique and unforgettable flavor.
