Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Brown the beef: Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Season the beef with salt and pepper. Brown half of the beef in the pot for about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the browned beef to a plate. Repeat with the remaining beef, adding another 1/2 Tbsp olive oil to the pot.
2. Sauté vegetables: Add another 1 Tbsp olive oil to the pot. Add the onion, carrots, and celery and sauté for 3 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute more.
3. Simmer the soup: Pour in the beef broth, diced tomatoes, browned beef, basil, oregano, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Add potatoes: Add the chopped potatoes to the pot and continue to simmer, covered, for 20 minutes. (You can also add the green beans with the potatoes if you prefer them very soft.)
5. Add remaining vegetables: Stir in the green beans and simmer for 15 minutes more, or until all the vegetables and beef are tender.
6. Finish and serve: Stir in the corn and peas and simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley and serve warm.
