Ingredients
Scale
For the Soup:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pounds chuck roast, cut into chunks
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (1 oz)
- 1 packet au jus gravy mix (1 oz)
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1/2 cup sliced pepperoncini peppers
- 1/4 cup pepperoncini juice
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cups diced potatoes
- 2 cups sliced carrots
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the Olive Oil: Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat.
- Brown the Beef: Season the beef with salt and pepper, then brown it in batches until all sides are seared. Remove and set aside.
- Saute Onions and Garlic: In the same pot, add the onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
- Cook the Soup: Return the beef to the pot and sprinkle the ranch and au jus seasoning over the top. Stir in the beef broth, pepperoncini peppers, pepperoncini juice, carrots, potatoes, Worcestershire sauce (if using), and butter. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 2–2.5 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shredded.
- Finish and Serve: Skim any fat off the top, shred the beef slightly, and stir before serving.
Notes
- This soup can also be made in a slow cooker on low for 8 hours.
- Adjust the number of pepperoncinis to control the heat level.
- Serve with crusty bread or over mashed potatoes for extra comfort.
