A Recipe For You!

I made this soup last night and it was so good (and healthy!  and easy!)  I did not invent it, just adapted a recipe from a magazine.  It was even better today (the second day).  Yum yum.

Beef & Veggie Soup


3/4 lb. lean ground beef
1 green pepper, diced
1/2 yellow onion, diced
1/2 package of frozen corn (5 oz?  6 oz?)
3/4 lb. green beans, ends trimmed and cut into one inch pieces
2 tsp. dried oregano
4 cups beef broth
olive oil
ground black pepper

1. Warm a bit of olive oil in a dutch oven or another soup pan and brown the beef.  Drain it on a paper towel and dab the fat drippings out of the pan.

2.  Warm a bit more olive oil if needed and saute the green pepper and onion over medium heat.

3.  Add the corn, green beans, broth, oregano, and beef back into the pan.  Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to med-low for about 10-15 minutes, until the beans are cooked, yet still crisp.  Season with black pepper and eat!
