    Use up any vegetables in your kitchen in this soup that's guaranteed to warm you up. It's healthy, tasty, and full of flavor.

    I hope everyone had a delightful Christmas and that it wasn't too affected by the scary tornadoes or other bad weather!

    We're still enjoying the amazing cinnamon rolls, and I sure will be sad when they're gone!

    But I am sort of excited to get back to a normal schedule of eating and stuff {without the cookie overload, snacks everywhere, etc.}.

    One thing I hate about Christmas being over is that it's cold and after Christmas I no longer want cold weather.

    I'm such a baby when it comes to cold weather, so 32 degrees is like unbearable for me and the last thing I want to do is go outside.

    So I make soup {or stew}.

    And when your refrigerator has a funny smell of vegetables past their prime, this is the perfect stew.

    You can put anything you want in here.

    I had a million mushrooms so my soup is full of them, but anything works - mushrooms, carrots, potatoes {any kind}, bell peppers {any color}, celery, leftover beef, herbs, onions {any kind} ...

    There's really no way to mess this up. Beef + vegetables + red wine + herbs = pure comfort food deliciousness.

    I loosely followed a recipe from Recipe Jubilee (an old Junior League of Mobile cookbook).

    I love those old cookbooks. Never a bad recipe. And I like looking over them and finding recipes that are from people whose name I recognize.

    I definitely did not follow the recipe exactly, but I did use it as a guideline.

    If you're freezing cold and you need something to warm you all the way to your bones, this is what you need to make. I promise

    Ingredients

    • 12 oz beef chuck round cut into 1 or 1/2 inch pieces
    • 2 TBSP flour
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 1/4 tsp pepper
    • 1/2 tsp paprika
    • 1/2 TBSP butter
    • 1/2 TBSP olive oil
    • 1 large onion chopped
    • 2 medium carrots chopped
    • 1 medium bell pepper chopped
    • 16 oz mushrooms chopped
    • 1.5 cups red wine {I used Pinot Noir} or low sodium beef broth
    • 4 cups hot water plus more as needed
    • 2 small/medium red potatoes chopped
    • 15 ounce no salt added diced tomatoes undrained
    • 1 bay leaf
    • 2 cloves garlic minced
    • 1 tsp salt
    • a few sprigs of rosemary
    • a few sprigs of thyme

    Instructions

    • Shake beef cubes together with flour, 1/2 tsp salt, pepper, and paprika.
    • Heat butter and oil over medium-high in a large soup pot or Dutch oven and brown beef. Once beef is browned (about 7-10 minutes), transfer to a plate.
    • Add onions, carrots, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Cook about 5 minutes until vegetables have softened and mushrooms have released their juices. Put the beef and any juices that may have formed back in the pot.
    • Pour in wine, and deglaze the pan {scrape any browned bits that are on the bottom of the pot}. Feel free to add more wine or broth if needed.
    • Stir in the water, potatoes, tomatoes & their juices, bay leaf, garlic, salt, and herbs.
    • Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer partially covered for at least an hour. Make sure to stir occasionally. Add more water if needed.
    • Before serving, remove bay leaf and herbs.
    • Enjoy!
