Homemade vegetable soup!

Soup that's cheap, nutritious and filling!

During a cold month like January, a good hot cup of vegetable beef soup sure goes a long way! I like to make mine in a simple and stupid fashion;

Ingredients:

½ cup diced beef

6 oz can tomato sauce

1 carrot, sliced

1 potato, peeled and sliced into chunks

1 celery stick, sliced
1/4 cup of peas

¼ peeled and chopped onion

wedge of cabbage

1 cup of water

salt and pepper to taste

I begin by braising the beef in the bottom of a ceramic-iron pot with just a little bit of olive oil. I then add the rest of the ingredients, stir and heat briefly to boiling. At that point the heat is reduced to a slow simmer and the pot is covered. About 90 minutes later, you have a hearty and filling soup to help speed you through the day!
