Welcome to the Brooklyn Brothers cooking channel.

Introduce the team: Tom, Matt, and Mario.

Start cooking the minestrone soup for winter comfort food.

Cut the chuck roast into pieces for searing.

Heat olive oil in a pot until hot.

Season the chuck roast pieces with salt and pepper and sear them in the pot.

Reserve the seared meat on the side to cook the vegetables in the same oil.

Chop half an onion, celery, and carrots for the soup.

Fry the chopped onions, celery, and carrots in the pot.

Add a teaspoon of beef base and some warm water to the pot.

Put the reserved meat back into the pot.

Add about 6-7 cups of water to the pot.

Add the canned crushed tomatoes to the pot.

Let the mixture come to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.

Taste the broth and adjust seasoning if needed.

Add the canned cannellini beans to the soup towards the end of cooking.

Once boiling, reduce heat and let simmer until the meat is cooked through.

Add the three cheese tortellini to the soup and cook for about 10 minutes.

Add the cannellini beans just before serving since they are already soft.

Serve the soup and enjoy.
