Ingredients

2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 lb beef stew meat cut into small pieces
2 yellow onions chopped
2 celery stalks chopped
2 garlic cloves chopped
8 cups low-sodium beef broth
1 15 oz can fire-roasted diced tomatoes, undrained
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon dried thyme
2 bay leaves
3-4 cups mixed vegetables carrots, corn, peas, green beans

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef stew meat and sear until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the meat and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium, add the chopped onions, celery, and garlic to the pot, and sauté for 8-10 minutes, or until the vegetables soften and the onions become translucent.
Add the beef back to the pot. Pour in the beef broth, diced tomatoes (with their juices), Worcestershire sauce, kosher salt, Cajun seasoning, black pepper, dried thyme, and bay leaves. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 40 minutes.
After 40 minutes, add the mixed vegetables to the pot. Stir well, cover, and continue simmering for another 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Check the seasoning and adjust with more salt and pepper if necessary. Remove and discard the bay leaves.
Serve hot.

Notes

To make the soup heartier, add cooked rice or pasta during the final 10 minutes of simmering.
