Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs beef chuck roast, cubed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 1 medium zucchini, chopped
  • 2 cups cauliflower florets (about 150 g)
  • 6 cups beef broth (1.4 liters)
  • 14 oz canned diced tomatoes (400 g)
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cut 1.5 lbs (680 g) beef chuck roast into 1-inch cubes and pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Heat 2 tbsp olive or avocado oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown beef cubes in batches for 5-7 minutes each batch, then transfer to a plate.
  3. In the same pot, sauté diced yellow onion for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add sliced celery, diced carrots, chopped zucchini, and cauliflower florets. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Pour in 6 cups beef broth and 14 oz canned diced tomatoes with juice. Scrape the bottom of the pot to release browned bits. Return browned beef and juices to the pot.
  6. Add 2 bay leaves, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1 tsp dried rosemary, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well.
  7. Bring soup to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  8. Remove bay leaves. Taste and adjust seasoning. For thicker texture, simmer uncovered for 5-10 minutes more.
  9. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

Brown the beef well for deep flavor. Simmer low and slow to keep beef tender and vegetables intact. Adjust seasoning gradually. Optional immersion blender can be used to mash some cauliflower for creamier texture. Soup is freezer-friendly for up to 3 months.
