The ULTIMATE comfort food.
The best thing about this soup is that it is so versatile.
You don’t have to purchase specific ingredients just use what you’ve got (or want).
I like to start by browning lean ground beef with chopped onion. Then I add garlic.
Then add beef broth and V-8 juice. Whatever amounts you want.
Next comes veggies. This is a great way to use what you have that needs to be eaten.
I love chopped celery, cabbage, carrots, lima beans, corn, kale, potatoes, pasta…the options are limitless.
Add your favorite seasonings and cook until everything is done.
I love to freeze this in small portions so I always have healthy yummy soup.
This is the easiest tastiest healthest chili ever. Season and cook 1 pound lean ground beef over medium heat, stiring until browned. While the meat cooks, drain and mash 1 can of beans (any kind you want). Add the beans to the browned ground beef and add another can of beans, undrained (any kind such as black beans, pinto, kidney, etc…). Then add 1 cup of salsa and 2 (8oz) cans of tomato sauce and chili seasonings (from a chili seasoning packet or your own spices such as cumin, red pepper flakes, chili powder, etc…) to the pot. Heat and serve. You can top this with sour cream and/or shredded cheese. This freezes beautiful!
I used to make this recipe by chopping up everything separate and it took alot of time. Now I throw it all in the blender and I like it better and it takes minutes. This is a delicious refreshing healthy soup. Serve it as cold as possible. In a blender briefly mix 1 -10 1/2 oz can beef broth, 2 1/2 cups V-8 juice, 3 tbsp lemon juice 2 tbsp chopped green onion, 2 chopped garlic cloves (use the kind in the jar), 2 tbsp hot sauce, 1 cup green pepper, 1 cup cucumber, 1 cup tomato and salt and pepper. Don’t over blend. Keep it chunky. You can serve this in individual bowls or in shot glasses placed in a tray of ice. Perfect for entertaining. This soup will help you fit into your bathing suit this summer.
