How to Make Pepper Pot Soup

Instructions

Step 1

Heat the vegetable oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the cubed beef and brown it on all sides. Remove the beef and set it aside.

Step 2

In the same pot, add the diced onion, minced garlic, chopped celery, sliced carrots, diced potatoes, and diced bell pepper. Sauté for a few minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

Step 3

Return the browned beef to the pot, and add the chopped hot peppers for some heat. If you prefer a milder soup, use fewer hot peppers.

Step 4

Season the mixture with dried thyme, dried marjoram, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir to coat everything evenly.

Step 5

Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and let it cook for about 30-40 minutes or until the beef and vegetables are tender.

Step 6

If you prefer a thicker soup, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with a small amount of water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the soup and simmer for a few more minutes until it thickens.

Step 7

Just before serving, stir in the chopped fresh spinach and let it wilt into the soup.

Step 8

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve your Pepper Pot Soup hot and enjoy a taste of American history!
