Beef and Mushroom Soup
with celery / carrots
Hearty and comforting, this classic soup got great reviews when first featured in 2017.
Smarts: This soup requires 45 to 60 minutes of hands-off simmer time to tenderize the beef. If you are short on time, make the soup ahead. It tastes even better a day or two later.

Make

- Add butter and then carrots, celery, onions, and bell peppers to melted butter. Saute until vegetables are starting to soften, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute more.
- Add mushrooms, stock, and bay leaves to vegetables. Add beef back to pan. Bring to a boil.
