Savory Beef and Vegetable Soup image

A friend told me that she has never been able to make a decent beef and vegetable soup, so I set out to find a recipe and make it. I found the basis for this soup on Cooks Illustrated. I made some changes I deemed necessary, made the soup, liked it, and gave some to my friend and a friend of hers. They loved it.

Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb choice stew meat, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 lb cremini mushrooms, stems trimmed, caps cleaned and quartered
1 lb red potatoes, cleaned, and diced into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large onion, chopped medium (about 1-1/2 cups)
2 Tbsp tomato paste
1 medium garlic clove, minced or pressed through a garlic press
1/2 c red wine
4 c beef broth
1 3/4 c low-sodium chicken broth
2 medium ribs celery cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 pkg frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, corn, peas & green beans)
1 large bay leaf
1/8 tsp dried thyme

Steps:

  • 1. Combine beef and soy sauce in medium bowl; set aside for 15 minutes
  • 2. Heat oil in large Dutch oven or pot over medium high heat until just smoking. Add mushrooms and onion; cook, stirring frequently, until onion pieces are brown and dark bits form on pan bottom, 8 to 12 minutes. Transfer vegetables to bowl.
  • 3. Add beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid evaporates and meat starts to brown, 6 to 10 minutes. Add tomato paste and garlic; cook, stirring constantly, until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add red wine, scraping bottom of pot with wooden spoon to loosen browned bits, and cook until syrupy, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • 4. Add beef broth, chicken broth, frozen mixed vegetables, bay leaf, thyme, and browned mushrooms and onion; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes with the pot uncovered to evaporate some water and concentrate the flavors.
  • 5. Add the potatoes, cover the pot, and simmer for 15 more minutes.
  • 6. When the soup is finished, turn off the heat. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper, remove the bay leaf and serve

This soup was easy to make and turned out great! The broth was flavorful and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. The beef was a bit tough, but I think that was because I used a cheaper cut of meat.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better. The vegetables were cooked perfectly, but the beef was a bit tough.
