Steps:
- Soak beans in cold water to cover by 2 inches in a bowl at room temperature at least 8 hours, or quick-soak (see cooks' note, below). Drain in a colander.

Tips:
- Prep work is key: Chop and measure all your vegetables and ingredients before you start cooking to save time and ensure everything cooks evenly.
- Choose a good quality beef stew meat: Look for meat that is well-marbled with fat, as this will help keep it moist and flavorful during cooking.
- Brown the beef in batches: Do not overcrowd the pan, or the beef will steam instead of brown. Brown the beef in batches and remove it from the pan before adding the vegetables.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include carrots, celery, potatoes, onions, and green beans.
- Add some herbs and spices: A few well-chosen herbs and spices can really enhance the flavor of your soup. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, bay leaf, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Let the soup simmer: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time.
- Serve with a crusty bread or roll: This will help soak up the delicious broth and make your meal more satisfying.
