In a Large Dutch oven (I used 6 quart-no smaller) brown the beef with salt/pepper/garlic powder – to taste.
Remove the beef from the pot to drain leaving approx. 2 tablespoons of grease in the pot. Add in the flour and dry seasonings. Stir until you no longer see the white of the flour. Then add in the broth, beef, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover for 40 minutes.
When your broth is ready, remove the Bay leaf. Then add in potato, corn, tomatoes, green beans, garlic, onion, celery, and carrot.
Bring to a boil- STIR CAREFULLY! Reduce to a simmer, and cover for 25 minutes until the veggies are tender.
