About This Recipe

This savory and nutritious Tomato Beef Soup is a hearty, flavorful dish that combines tender beef with fresh vegetables and aromatic spices. Succulent beef slices are stir-fried to lock in richness, then pressure-cooked with scallions, ginger, bay leaves, peppercorns, and star anise for deep, fragrant broth. Onions and radishes add sweetness and texture, while fermented soybeans bring a rich umami kick. Simmered together with juicy diced tomatoes, the soup gains a tangy brightness, enhanced with a splash of white vinegar and chicken powder for extra depth. Perfect for warming up on chilly days, this comforting soup balances bold spices, tender beef, and fresh veggies in every spoonful. Quick to prepare with a pressure cooker yet packed with layers of flavor, it’s a satisfying meal that’s both delicious and nourishing.
