  • 2-3 celery ribs, diced
  • 3 (14-ounce) cans beef broth
  • 1 (14.5-ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 cups water
  • 2-3 large carrots, diced or sliced
  • 2 large potatoes, cubed (or baby potatoes, halved)
  • 1-2 teaspoons garlic powder, or to taste
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 (15-ounce) can green beans, drained
  • 1 (15.25-ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large pot over medium heat, brown the beef in the olive oil on all sides. Remove to a plate.

    Add the onion and celery to the pot and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the browned beef back to the pot, along with the beef broth, tomato sauce, tomato paste, and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for about an hour.

  4. 4

    Add the carrots and potatoes and cook for another hour. Then, stir in the garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste, followed by the green beans, corn, and peas. Cook for another 30-45 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

    Serve with crusty bread, and enjoy!
