I love this soup, because it's so incredibly simple to make. I always just use what I have on hand, and it always turns out great.
I will admit right off the bat that tonight's soup was the prepackaged, super simple, I've-got-a-baby-on-my-hip-and-one-free-hand version. The branch of the organic veggie co-op that we use is still on hiatus, so everything was store bought this go.
Tonight's soup used:
Beef (pre-cut since I was one-handed)
Beef broth
Carrots
Corn
Green beans (snapped in half)
Mushrooms
Spices:
Onion powder (since R is allergic to fresh onion)
Garlic powder (fresh cloves are difficult to work with one-handed)
Cajun seasoning
Easy-peasy directions:
I browned the meat in a large pot, with a splash of beef broth, and added the spices in amounts that smelled yummy. As soon as the meat was cooked, I poured in the rest of the beef broth. Added carrots, mushrooms and corn. I snapped the green beans in half and added those, then topped off with enough water that it looked like soup.
When I have time and have them in the house, I'll add either potatoes or barley to make this a heartier soup. It's yummy served with fresh bakery bread.
We served four adult-sized bowls, picked out a bunch of veggies for C and still had plenty to put away for lunches.
