A fun family meal. Serve with cornbread. Has a tomato-y broth that my family likes. Ingredients:
1/2 lb ground beef or 1/2 lb ground turkey |
1/2 cup chopped yellow onion |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice |
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce |
1 1/2 cups tomato juice |
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can condensed beef broth |
2 cups water |
1/2 teaspoon dried basil |
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
fresh ground black pepper, to taste |
2 carrots, chopped |
1 celery, chopped |
1/2 zucchini, unpeeled and chopped |
3/4 cup fresh peas or 3/4 cup frozen peas |
1/2 cup alphabet pasta |
Directions:
1. In a large soup pot over medium heat, combine beef, onion, and garlic; stir/satue, breaking up the meat with a spoon, for about 5 minutes or until meat is browned and onion/garlic are tender (add in a little oil, if needed). 2. Add in tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato juice, broth, water, seasonings, carrots, celery, and zucchini. 3. Bring to a boil over high heat; lower heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes. 4. Add in peas and pasta; cook about 10 minutes or until pasta is tender; adjust seasoning to taste. |
