2 tbsp white all purpose flour
0.5 tsp black pepper
2 Bouillon, beef, powdered, cube (or 2 tsp bouillon granules)
1 lb Beef, bottom round roast, lean, trimmed of all visible fat, and cut into cubes
2 tbsp canola oil
2 large onion, cut into wedges
3 medium garlic cloves, chopped
28 oz Tomatoes, stewed, canned (2 14-1/2 oz cans)
1 lb Potatoes, fresh, medium, FDA, scrubbed and cut into bite-size pieces (red potatoes)
4 Carrots, fresh, large, 7 1/4" - 8 1/2" long, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 tbsp oregano, fresh, INTL, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)

1 In a large bowl, mix the flour, pepper, and bouillon granules. Add the meat and toss to coat.
2 Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the meat on all sides, about 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add the onions, garlic, tomatoes, wine, potatoes, and carrots. If using dried herbs, add now. Stir well. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
3 Uncover, stir in the fresh herbs. Simmer for an additional 30 minutes, or until the liquid thickens, stirring occasionally.

For more vegetables in this soup try adding green beans or corn.
