Veggie Beef Stew

Just wanted to post a quick recipe! I love soups, partially for their flavor, and partially because they last me all week for meals. Lazy or prepared? I say both. 

This soup is loaded up with veggies, and you still get some protein from the beef. I always feel full and satisfied when I eat this. My next experiment is to try some paleo biscuits to go with it. 

Here's the recipe! 

Ingredients

1lb beef stew meat

1 cup chopped onion 

4 cups beef broth 

4 cups canned, crushed tomatoes or 3 cans sliced stewed tomatoes (I like these better) 

3 cups chopped carrots

1 cup chopped celery 

1 cup tomato sauce

1 cup shredded cabbage 

1 cup cauliflower 

1 cup zucchini 

1 cup squash 

1 1/2 teaspoons oregano

2 tablespoons of olive oil for pan 

Instructions 

Coat a large saucepan with olive oil and heat for 1 minute. Add beef and onion and cook over medium-heat, stirring occasionally, until beef is lightly browned. (About 5 minutes.) Add  meat,broth, tomatoes, carrots, celery, and tomato sauce, along with 4 cups of water to soup pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover partially and simmer for 1 hour. Add remaining ingredients and cook until cabbage is tender, or 20-30 minutes. Ladle evenly into soup bowls. Makes 10 servings.
