Beef Stoup on Soup Crocks


It's been raining here in SoCal since last night so I thought of making something warm and cozy.  How about a beef stoup?

In a Dutch oven, a clove of garlic is hissing. I added the organic beef, a can of crushed tomatoes, chopped onions and a cup of beef broth.  Some freshly-ground black pepper, bay leaves,  a generous sprinkle of smoked paprika.  Simmered on low heat for a couple of hours.  I added some diced organic carrots and organic Yukon Gold potatoes.  I wait.  Then, ladelled into double-handled soup crocks. Cracked an egg, sprigs of fresh thyme on top.  Then popped on a 325 degrees pre-heated oven. 


We had a happy Sunday dinner.

Does this mean that the  Dutch oven season has already kicked off?
