  4. Pour in the beef broth and the canned diced tomatoes (with juice). Stir to combine.
  5. Sprinkle in the oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  6. Reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
  7. Once ready, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
