Makes ten 1-cup (250 mL) servings

Preparation Time: 30 min
Cooking Time: 150 min

This soup, meaty and full of vegetables, is almost a stew. It tastes even better reheated the next day!

Ingredients

2 tsp vegetable oil 10 mL
8 oz stew beef, cubed 250 g
1 tbsp all-purpose flour 15 mL
onions, chopped
stalks celery, chopped
clove garlic, crushed
3 tbsp paprika 45 mL
4 cups beef broth 1 L
carrots, sliced
potatoes, diced
bay leaves
1/4 cup white vinegar 50 mL
2 tbsp tomato paste 25 mL
1 tsp dried thyme 5 mL
1 tsp dried parsley 5 mL
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper 2 mL
1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce 2 mL
Serve with whole wheat rolls

Instructions

Step 1
Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Toss beef with flour. Add oil to pan and swirl to coat. Add beef and brown on all sides. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Step 2
In the same saucepan, sauté onions, celery, garlic and paprika in the fat remaining in the pan for 1 minute. Add broth, stirring well to scrape up any brown bits stuck to bottom of pan. Add browned beef, carrots, potatoes, bay leaves, vinegar, tomato paste, thyme, parsley, pepper and Worcestershire sauce; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 2 to 3 hours, until meat is tender.

Tips

The browning step can be omitted, but the flavor won't be as rich.
