Recipe: Beef Soup

With the last couple of cold days there is nothing that could warm you up like a warm bowl of soup!

Ingredients: 4 servings

• 1 pound boneless beef chuck roast, trimmed and cut into bite-size pieces

• 3 medium carrots, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices

• 1 medium onion, chopped

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

• 1 bay leaf

• 2 ( 14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, not drained

• 1 cup beef broth or water

• 2 small potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes

• 1/2 cup frozen peas

• Fresh parsley sprigs, optional for garnish

• 2-3 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions:

1. To brown beef first: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high. Add the beef and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and pepper. Brown the beef on all sides, allowing it to develop nice coloring on all sides. Once the beef is lightly browned (it won’t be all the way cooked through), remove it to the slow cooker.

2. In a 3 1/2 to 4 quart slow cooker, combine beef chuck pieces, sliced carrots, cubed potatoes, chopped onion and minced garlic. Sprinkle with salt and thyme. Add bay leaf, tomatoes with juices and water. Stir until all ingredients are combined.

3. Cover; cook on low-heat setting for 8 to 10 hours or on high-heat setting for 4 to 5 hours.

4. Remove and discard bay leaf. Stir in peas and garnish with parsley, if desired.

Andrea has been at IPT since July of 2023 and has been the definition of consistency! She always makes adjustments to her nutrition and exercise when needed and pushes herself in workouts every single time. Each month she exceeds her goal of losing body fat mass, and has lost a total of 24lbs of BFM since joining! She's able to chest press 25 lb dumb bells and can do a full pushup without any assistance now. You can really see the difference in how Andrea carries herself and the confidence she has now compared to her first day at IPT. She completely transformed her life for the better!

Hi, my name is Dylan and I’ve been at IPT since December of 2022, and my fitness habits have greatly improved since then! Since I started at IPT, I’ve been consistent with all of my workouts at the gym, my workouts outside of the gym, and my nutrition. I’ve lost 13.2 pounds of body fat, and have gotten stronger and faster with every session. My training at IPT has helped me to throw a no-hitter this baseball season as well as decrease my 40 yard sprint time!
