1
Dice leftover meat to 1/2 inch cubes.
2
In a heavy bottomed kettle, add olive oil, onion, garlic, celery & thyme.
3
Saute several minutes until onion translucent & thyme aromatic.
4
Add carrots, green pepper & tomatos (no worries if no fresh available - I just had it in fridge & it was looking lonely).
5
Add Beef beef stock base & saute on low for 25 minutes until base & onions caramelize.
6
Skip beef base if using beef broth instead of base & water.
7
Add water & simmer for 45 minutes - lid off.
