Cooking Directions

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 6-quart saucepot over high heat.  Season the beef as desired.  Add the beef in two batches and cook until well browned, stirring occasionally.  Remove the beef from the saucepot.
• Heat the remaining oil in the saucepot over medium-high heat.  Add the onions, celery, carrots and garlic and cook for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the broth to the saucepot and heat to a boil.  Reduce the heat to low.  Cook for 10 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.  Season to taste.  Enjoy the base soup as is or customize using one of the options in our tips section.
