Cut the beef chuck roast into chunks.

Boil water in a pot.

Add the beef chunks to the boiling water and cook for about 30-40 minutes.

Add chopped onions, crushed garlic, and celery to the pot with the beef.

Add onion soup mix, oregano, thyme, and salt to the pot.

Add diced tomatoes to the pot.

After 40 minutes, add chopped carrots and potatoes to the pot.

Cook for another 20 minutes.

Add cream of mushroom soup and tomato soup to the pot.

Stir to combine and let it cook until creamy, checking consistency.

If needed, prepare a thickening agent with flour and water, but the creator decided not to use it as the stew thickened on its own.
