   When translucent, add the carrots and celery, and continue sauteeing for another 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Add the onion, carrots, and celery mixture (with whatever little oil you still have in the skillet), and add to soup pot that has the beef cooking.

5. 5

   Add cubed tomatoes, potatoes, and hawaij.

6. 6

   Simmer for 30minutes more, partially covered, until all ingredients are soft.
