Savory Beef and Potato Soup
(serves 4)
Ingredients:
- 2 T oil (divided)
- 1 lb round steak, cut in 1/2 inch cubes
- 1/2 t salt
- 1/4 t black pepper
- 2 large cloves of garlic
- 1/2 medium onion (chopped)
- 4 potatoes (scrubbed and chopped, peels on)
- 4 carrots (peeled and chopped on the bias)
- 4 C beef broth
- 1 can of condensed tomato soup
- Green Onions for garnish
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Heat 1 T of the oil to medium high heat in a large skillet.
- Carefully add the meat in one layer in the oil. Do not stir. Allow the meat to brown thoroughly and then turn it over in the skillet. Allow second side to brown thoroughly before removing the meat to a small bowl.
- Season the meat with salt and pepper and stir. Set aside.
- Pour 1/2 c of the beef broth into the hot skillet to deglaze. Add this broth back to the rest of the broth.
- Heat the remaining 1 T oil to medium heat in a soup pot.
- Add the onion and garlic first. When the onion and garlic begin to cook, add the potatoes and carrots to the soup pot. Cook, stirring frequently for approximately five minutes.
- Add the broth, the canned soup and the meat to the soup pot. Bring the soup to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 30 to 45 minutes. When the vegetables are tender, the soup is done.
- Add salt and pepper to taste and serve garnished with chopped green onions.
