Recipe - Balsamic Beef Soup

What is better for fall than a nice, hearty, healthy soup?!?  (That's rhetorical!)

I found this recipe online from the weedemandreap.com and have fallen in love.  There are 9 other fall soup recipes that I am eager to try, and will report back my likings, sharing the recipes of those that were OMGish ;)

Ingredients:
1 onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 TBS. olive oil, tallow, lard, or butter
2 pounds stew meat
2 TBS. tomato paste
4 TBS. balsamic vinegar
4 c. beef broth
4 c. carrots, sliced
8 potatoes, diced
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
TOP with minced parsley
Directions:
1. In a pot over medium heat, saute onion & garlic in oil for about 5-7 minutes or until translucent.
2. Cut stew meat into medium chunks and add to onion & garlic.
3. Cook meat until browned, reduce heat to low and add tomato paste and balsamic vinegar. Cook on low for 10 minutes to allow the liquid to evaporate and the balsamic vinegar to reduce & sweeten.
4. Increase heat to medium-high, and add broth, carrots, potatoes, salt, & pepper. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until potatoes & carrots are well cooked.
5. Remove from heat, top with parsley & enjoy!

This yields 8 servings...
