Mom`s Beef and Garden Vegetable Soup

Swiss Chard and Cherry Tomatoes are so packed with nutrients and so easy to grow that I had to start coming up with ways to use them all during the growing season. This soup is delicious, nutritious and takes only 15 minutes to make.

Ingredients

  • 1 large Onion peeled and chopped
  • 2 large Carrots peeled and chopped
  • 2 ribs of Celery chopped
  • 2 small Zucchini chopped
  • 2 cups leftover cubed Roast Beef
  • 2 cups shredded Swiss Chard or Baby Spinach
  • 3/4 cup halved Cherry Tomatoes
  • 1 ½ liters Beef broth
  • 1 clove Garlic
  • 1 tsp each of dry Thyme and Basil
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Method

    1. In a large pot, saute onion, carrot, garlic, zucchini and celery in a little oil until tender
    2. Add broth, cubed beef , Swiss chard and dried herbs and bring to a boil
    3. Reduce heat and cook until Chard is tender
    4. Stir in Cherry tomatoes, season to taste with salt and pepper and cook 2 minutes more before serving

      Lanne, this sounds so good. My vegetable plot hasn't really got going yet, but I'm hoping for a bumper crop, and this soup recipe will be a good one to try.

      Thanks Dee. It is delicious, but the best part is that it is so easy to make. I am a huge soup fan, but I used to go all summer without making it because the long cooking time heated up my house. So a few years back I decided to experiment. I figure if Rachel Ray can do nutritious meals in 30 minutes...I can do it in less....lol I`ll be adding more shortly.

      I will have to try this! Ron doesn't know what he's missing when he refuses to eat veggies. All the more for me..
