I’m not a big soup fan, but I LOVE this soup. It super filling, nutritious and delicious!
2 cups chopped onions
1 cup sliced celery
2 garlic gloves, minced
1/8 cup vegetable oil
5 cups beef broth
(I just buy the big carton and add water to make 5 cups)
1 14 oz can diced tomatoes
1 15 oz can tomato sauce
1 cup sliced carrots
2 teaspoons basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 pound ground beef
1 small zucchini, sliced
1 can green beans
1 can kidney beans, drained
1 can navy beans, drained
(or just two cans of your favorite beans)
In a large pot, sauté onion, celery and garlic until tender. Stir in broth, tomatoes, tomato sauce, carrots, basil, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 1 hour. In a large pan, cook beef until no longer pink. Drain. Stir beef into soup with zucchini and beans. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Top each serving with parmesan cheese.
Enjoy!

¼ c green pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne

Brown beef and onion; drain. Add soup and spices. Boil; simmer 1 hour. Add beans; simmer ½ hour.
In the slow cooker:
Brown beef and onion; drain. Combine EVERYTHING in the slow cooker. Cook on low for 3-4 hours.
If you decide to cook it on low for 12 hours, you will end up with a big, black, charcoaled mess…

Stir Fry
My wonderful friend Michelle invited me over for dinner tonight. We had stir fry and it was delicious! I decided I should share with you my favorite stir fry recipe (which is actually my mom’s).
1 lb sirloin steak*
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 green onions, chopped
1 10 oz can beef broth
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 garlic clove, minced
4 or 5 cups of whatever vegetables you feel like
Mix green onions, beef broth, cornstarch, soy sauce, and garlic in a bowl.
Cook steak in oil for about 3 minutes.
Remove steak from pan and add vegetables for about 3 minutes.
Put steak back in pan and add the broth mixture.
Cook for about 3 minutes.
I can eat a plateful of this and feel completely satisfied—no rice or noodles needed!
*If you want to use chicken, use chicken broth instead of beef broth and it tastes just as yummy!
