Ingredients:
1 cup thinly sliced green bell pepper |
1 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper |
1 cup thinly sliced yellow bell pepper |
1 1/3 cups water |
1 (10 1/2-ounce) can beef consomme |
1 bay leaf |
1 (1-ounce) slice whole-wheat bread |
1 pound ground round |
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion |
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1 large egg white |
1 garlic clove, crushed |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup water |
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil |

Directions:
1. Combine the first 6 ingredients in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes.
