Vegetable beef soup

Directions:

1. Cut the beef into cubes and fry in a large soup pot with a little oil until browned.
2. Peel and roughly chop the onion. Prepare the carrots, celery, potatoes, leeks, and parsley roots (if using) and chop them into small pieces.
3. Add the chopped vegetables to the fried beef and fry briefly.
4. Add enough vegetable or beef broth to make the desired amount of soup. The broth should cover the meat and vegetables.
5. Bring the soup to a boil and then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cooking time depends on the size of the meat pieces, but usually takes about 1.5 to 2 hours until the meat is tender.
6. While cooking, skim the soup to remove any foam or sediment.
7. Season with salt and pepper and add more seasoning if desired.
8. To serve, sprinkle the vegetable beef soup with fresh parsley or chives.

This is just a basic recipe for vegetable beef soup. You can add different vegetables and spices according to your taste and regional preferences. Some people also add noodles or rice, for example, to make the soup even more hearty. Enjoy!
