Method

  1. 1

    Par-cook vegetables: Boil potatoes and carrots only until al dente, then drain.

  2. 2

    Brown onion and beef: Sauté onion until lightly browned, then brown beef on all sides.

  3. 3

    Build soup: Add vegetables, tomatoes, jalapeño, water and coriander and simmer briefly.

  4. 4

    Thicken and finish: Stir in flour, then milk; simmer until beef and vegetables are tender and soup lightly thickened.

Cook's notes

  • Stopping early prevents the vegetables from disintegrating during the final simmer.
  • Browning creates savory depth before the soup liquid is added.
  • Keep the vegetables intact while the flavors combine.
