- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced

- 2 potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 cups beef broth

- 1 bay leaf

Instructions
-
In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and brown them on all sides. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.

In the same pot, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced bell pepper. Cook for 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Bring the soup to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Let it cook for 1.5 to 2 hours, until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded together.

About 10 minutes before serving, add the sliced okra, chopped spinach, and fresh parsley to the pot. Stir well and let it cook until the okra is tender.
