Homemade Beef Vegetable Soup

1. Add Vegetables and Seasonings:
   • Return the seared beef to the pot and add the carrots, celery, potatoes, diced tomatoes, beef broth, water, green beans, corn, peas, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, pepper, and bay leaves. Stir to combine.
2. Simmer:
   • Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and the flavors meld together.
3. Add Pasta:
   • About 15-20 minutes before serving, add the small pasta to the soup. Cook until the pasta is tender.
4. Serve:
   • Once the pasta is cooked, remove the bay leaves. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
5. Enjoy:
   • Ladle the homemade beef vegetable soup into bowls and serve hot. You can serve it with crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal.
