Ingredients
  

1.5 lbs beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes

4 cups beef broth

2 cups carrots, sliced

2 cups potatoes, diced (Yukon Gold or Russet)

1 cup celery, chopped

1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, with juice

1 medium onion, chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tsp dried thyme

1 tsp dried oregano

1 bay leaf

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tbsp olive oil (for browning beef)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Brown the Beef: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef cubes with salt and pepper. Add the beef to the skillet and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. This step enhances the flavor of the soup.

    Prepare the Ingredients: While the beef is browning, prepare all the vegetables. Chop the carrots, potatoes, celery, green beans, and onion. Mince the garlic.

      Combine in Crockpot: Once the beef is browned, transfer it to the crockpot. Add the carrots, potatoes, celery, green beans, diced tomatoes (with juice), onion, and garlic.

        Add Seasonings: Pour in the beef broth, and add the thyme, oregano, Worcestershire sauce, and bay leaf. Stir the ingredients gently to combine.

          Cook: Cover the crockpot and set it to low heat. Cook for 8 hours or high heat for about 4 hours. The beef should be tender and the vegetables cooked through.

            Final Touches: Once done, taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Remember to remove the bay leaf before serving.

              Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy your warm, hearty soup with crusty bread or over rice!
