Recipe: Vegetable beef soup
Recipe: Vegetable beef soup
This was an accidental recipe. I THOUGHT I could make beef stew, but it didn't work right. So the second try, I removed the tomatoes and added boullion instead. Now when I make this, my family cheers! I typically serve it with either crescent rolls or corn bread. I change the recipe almost every time I make it, but these are the basics.
Ingredients:
1 package of stew meat
olive oil to coat the bottom of a small frying pan
pinch of salt
pinch of pepper
1/2 packet onion soup mix for now, 1/2 for later
1 packet brown gravy mix
bags of frozen vegetables (for my family, we use 3 bags of mixed vegetables)
EITHER 1 c. instant rice or 2 c. of your favorite pasta
4 beef boullion cubes
4 c. water now
3 c. water later
Prepare Meat:
Heat olive oil in the bottom of a small frying pan.
Add cubes of meat. Lightly brown
Add salt, pepper, and 1/2 packet onion soup mix
brown the meat until it lightly sizzles
add a packet of brown gravy mix. Stir together until there is a slight gravy
remove from heat
Prepare soup:
Add 4 cups of water and 4 boullion cubes to the crockpot. Heat the crockpot on low.
Add the meat. Stir slowly.
Add the other half of the onion soup mix.
Let it slow cook for approximately 4 1/2 hours.
Toward the end of preparation:
Add all bags of vegetables. Stir slowly.
Add 3 more cups of water.
Add rice or noodles
Cook for an additional hour

HEH I found you! This is quite different from my beef stew, but hey, it's all about the beef & veggies and onion soup.

Hi there!
This is actually more of a soup than a stew. Although, I do use stew meat. I made this soup quite by accident. It's now a favorite.
I just made a delicious quiche. I'll have to get that up here, too. And some healthy apple latkes.
Hey, now that I'm a housewife, I should have time to really develop this!
I did sell out. I signed up for a bunch of pay per blog sites, and have already gotten offers. I'll be blogging quite a bit now WOOT. On my Xanga, of course.
Ordered my transcripts today. Hopefully will get them at the beginning of next week so I can finish my application for subbing.
Darren really just wants me to be a housewife now. Isn't that amazing?
