Beef Vegetable Soup

     Yep, it’s probably way to hot for soup, but I had a craving for some good garden veggies.  This is a nice way to get your “healthy” on too!  Soup doesn’t have to take all day to cook.  I use frozen veggie’s in mine if I don’t have fresh available, which is a quick and healthy option.  Use fresh if you can of course, but be prepared to sit back & do some dicing & chopping.  Enjoy!

Directions:

4 cups hot water

3/4 cups powdered bouillon

8 oz beef cut into small chunks

1 cup carrots

1 cup celery

1 cup onions

1 cup green beans

1 cup peas

1/2 cabbage cut up

In at least a 10 cup pot, start by boiling your water, bouillon & beef for about 30 minutes.  Then add all of your vegetables at once to your boiling soup.  Cook for another 15 minutes, cover and remove the pot from heat. This will keep your vegetables crispy, and not let them turn to mush. Let it self cook for another 1/2 hour with the lid on.
