450g
2 carrots
120g
1 stalk celery
130g
1 onion
160g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tsp rosemary
5g
2 cups chicken gravy
400g
2 cups water
500g
1/3 cup pearl barley
72g
2 bay leafs
1.20g
1 lb tomatoes
450g
1.50 sweet potatos
300g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Start by preparing all your ingredients. Cut the beef into bite-sized chunks. Peel and slice the carrots. Slice the celery. Chop the onion. Mince the garlic. Dice the sweet potatoes and chop the tomatoes.
2. Heat the Olive Oil:
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it's hot but not smoking.
3. Brown the Beef:
- Add the beef chunks to the pot. Cook them until they are browned on all sides, which should take about 5-7 minutes. Make sure to stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Once browned, remove the beef and set it aside.
4. Sauté the Vegetables:
- In the same pot, add the chopped onion, sliced carrots, and celery. Sauté them in the remaining oil for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables start to soften.
5. Add Garlic and Herbs:
- Add the minced garlic and chopped rosemary to the pot. Stir and cook for another minute until fragrant.
6. Add Liquids and Bay Leaves:
- Pour in the chicken gravy and water. Stir to combine. Add the bay leaves.
7. Add Beef and Pearl Barley:
- Return the browned beef to the pot. Add the pearl barley and stir to incorporate everything.
8. Simmer the Soup:
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 45 minutes, or until the beef and barley are tender.
9. Add Tomatoes and Sweet Potatoes:
- After 45 minutes of simmering, add the chopped tomatoes and diced sweet potatoes to the pot. Stir to combine. Continue to simmer for another 20-25 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
10. Adjust Seasoning:
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed with salt and pepper. Remove the bay leaves.
11. Serve:
- Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. Enjoy your hearty, nutritious all-in-one beef soup!

Tips:

- For a richer flavor, consider browning the beef in small batches to develop a deep caramelization.

- If you prefer a thicker soup, you can add a couple of tablespoons of tomato paste or reduce the amount of water slightly.

- Feel free to add your favorite vegetables or legumes, such as peas, corn, or beans, to customize the soup to your taste.

- For added depth of flavor, you can use beef broth instead of water.

- Garnish with fresh parsley or grated parmesan cheese before serving for an extra touch of elegance.

There you have it—a delicious, all-in-one beef soup that's sure to warm your soul. This versatile and hearty dish is perfect for meal prep, family dinners, or simply enjoying a cozy bowl of goodness. Serve with crusty bread for a complete meal and enjoy the rich, savory flavors.
