Step 1

Preheat a heavy soup pot or dutch oven with oil over medium-high heat. Add beef in a single layer and cook until browned on all sides. Brown in batches if needed to get a good sear.

Step 2

To the beef add onions and continue cooking for about 3 minutes or until the onions are softened and lightly golden.

Step 3

Add beef broth, canned tomatoes, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to simmer. Partially cover and cook until beef is tender, for about 55-75 minutes.*

Step 4

Add in potatoes, carrots, and celery. Cook for about 20 minutes.

Step 5

Add in green beans and green onion and simmer for 10 more minutes.

Step 6

Add the parsley, season to taste with salt and pepper, and take it off the heat.
