Instructions
- In a large, heavy based kettle add the olive oil. Add the beef in batches to not overcrowd the kettle. Salt and pepper each batch. Cook each batch until browned adding more oil between each batch if needed. Set the browned beef aside.
- Add a bit more olive oil if needed and add the garlic and onion cook a few minutes until translucent.
- Add the flour and cook a minute stirring to incorporate with the oils in the pan. Then pour in 2 cups of the beef broth stirring constantly to incorporate the flour with the liquid.
- Then add four more cups of the beef broth, the wine, the cooked beef and the 2 bay leaves. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Continue to cook for 1 hour 30 minutes or until the beef is almost fork tender.
- Add in the mixed vegetables, soy sauce, beef soup base, and pasta. Continue to cook another 20-30 minutes until the vegetables and pasta are cooked. (note if adding potatoes, I would skip the pasta as there would be enough starch in this soup).
- Remove the 2 bay leaves.
- Taste the broth, adjust the salt and pepper and soup base as needed.
- Serve. This is great with a crusty bread, oyster crackers, or as is.
