Vegetable Beef Soup


Ingredients:

Soup bone
Soup meat
Beef stock
Water
Bay leaves
Herbes de Provence or Bouquet Garni
Head of cabbage, chopped
Bag of baby spinach or kale
Chopped onions, bell pepper, celery, garlic
Carrots cut into rounds
Potatoes, medium dice
Fresh or frozen whole kernel corn
Fresh or frozen green beans
Frozen peas
Ro-Tel tomatoes
Tomato sauce
Tony’s or seasoning of choice


Brown seasoned soup meat in hot oil. Do it in small enough batches that you don’t end up steaming the meat. Reserve.

Saute the trinity and the garlic.

Make sure you brown the soup bone (which should have some meat on it), too.

Put all of the meat and the bone back into the pot. Add a couple of large containers of beef stock, water, the Ro-Tel tomatoes, the tomato sauce, and the chopped onions, bell pepper, garlic, celery, cabbage & bay leaves. A tablespoon or two of Herbes de Provence or Bouqet Garni.

Simmer for a few hours, until the cabbage is very tender. Add carrots, potatoes and green beans and corn. Adjust seasoning as needed.

If you’re going to freeze the soup, either pick out the potatoes and eat them first, or don’t use potatoes in the recipe. Cooked potatoes have a bad texture after freezing. Later, when you heat up your frozen soup, add potatoes to the batch.

If the flavor is not rich enough or deep enough, add a couple of tablespoons of a product called Better than Bouillon Vegetable Base.

PS - I used to try to add a larger variety of vegetables, but have decided a simpler version is better. You could pare it down to even fewer than in this recipe, like either cabbage OR spinach/kale. Either green beans OR green peas.

Your recipe for a veggie soup says the first item on the shopping list "buy a can opener" and then throw the over cooked nutritional value of zero cooked to death veggies into a pot after learning how to use it.

I make the one Tim Fitzmorris has on his website ( www.nomenu.com ) and everyone in my house enjoys it.

It must have turnips to be veg soup for me.
