Heat soup pot with oil.  Add beef and sear to brown on both sides.  Add onions, celery, yams and stir.  Cook until tender.  Add tomatoes, water, wine, and seasonings except fresh herbs.  Add any other veggies you want to use.  Simmer until beef is tender and all veggies are soft.  Remove from heat, add fresh herbs and cilantro.  Adjust seasoning to taste and serve.  This is a great recipe for using leftovers.
