Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 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.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it's hot but not smoking.
- 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.
- 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.
- Add the minced garlic and chopped rosemary to the pot. Stir and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken gravy and water. Stir to combine. Add the bay leaves.
- Return the browned beef to the pot. Add the pearl barley and stir to incorporate everything.
- 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.
- 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.
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed with salt and pepper. Remove the bay leaves.
- 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.
