PREPARATION:
1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over moderate heat. After a few minutes, add the meat cubes and fry them until they are browned on both sides. This procedure contributes to the improvement of the soup’s taste.
2. After the meat has browned, add the chopped onion and garlic that have been minced to the saucepan. Sauté the onions for a few minutes, or until they turn translucent and aromatic, whichever comes first.
3. Combine the chopped carrots, celery, potatoes, green beans, corn, and peas by stirring them into the soup. To add more dimension to the taste, add the bay leaves and the dried thyme.
4. After the beef broth has been added to the saucepan, check to see that all of the veggies and meat are covered by the liquid. Bring the mixture up to a low simmer before serving.
