Recipe Name Vegetable and Beef Soup Submitted by ludwigkm306 Recipe Description This is a basic simple beef and vegetable soup that can be adjusted to anyones taste through addition of spices and other vegies. It is not very kid friendly, at least not for mine (2 and 4 yrs) I am still struggling to get them to eat vegetables.

Ingredients Amount Measure Ingredient 1 pound Beef, ground, 90% lean meat / 10% fat, raw 1 large Onion, chopped 1 large (2-1/4 per lb, approx 3-3/4" long, 3" dia) green pepper, chopped 3 cloves garlic minced 2 cans (28 fl oz) Tomatoes canned, stewed, Italian recipe, Low Sodium 2 cups tomato juice 1 can, 15 oz (303 x 406) corn, canned 1 can (303 x 406) green beans,canned 4 cups, shredded Cabbage 1 cup Lima beans, canned 1 cup, chopped Carrots, raw 1 package (10 oz) Peas, frozen 2 cups Kidney beans, canned Steps Sequence Step 1 Brown Ground Beef with onions and green pepper. 2 Add garlic, cook 2 minutes. 3 Add carrots and cabbage, cook 5 minutes (or until they begin to soften). 4 Add corn, limas (I use frozen but it was not an option so I listed it as canned), green beans, peas, kidney beans, and stewed italian tomatoes. It will be very thick (I add the tomato juice to desired consistency). 5 Salt/pepper to taste (I usually do not add additional, but preferences differ). 6 Bring to boil, simmer 20-30 minutes, or until vegies are cooked. 7 You can also add pasta or potatoes to the soup and it is good, but it does not freeze well with these additions. Since it makes a lot of soup I usually freeze some for lunches.
