Simple Soup




Often times while I'm at work we talk to about food and share recipes. My boss Rose gave me this one here is my take on her recipe. We call it "Venus Soup" because it is supposed to be similar to the soup served at the very popular Venus de Milo restaurant. There are 3 reasons why I love this soup:


1.Simple and cheap to make


2.It is made from items that you might already have in your pantry


3.Delicious


Ingredients:

1 # lean ground beef

1 onion chopped

1 (16oz) bag of frozen mixed veggies (green beans,corn, carrots, Lima beans)

1 (8oz can) of tomato sauce (if you don't have tomato sauce use 1 1/2 tbsp of tomato paste)

1/2 of small head of cabbage chopped

3 beef bouillons

1/4 cup of orzo

*water


Method:

1.In your biggest soup pot brown your ground beef with a little salt and pepper and then drain the fat and put back on stove.


2. Add your chopped onion and cabbage and saute until just soft.


3. To this add tomato sauce, bouillons, mixed veggies


4. Bring your pot over to the sink and add water until everything is just about covered in water.


5. Bring to a boil and then let soup simmer for an hour stirring occasionally.


6. Lastly add your pasta let cook for about 5-10 more minutes until pasta is done.


7. Enjoy
