TRASH SOUP



Trash Soup image

I began making this soup when my children were little. It was a good way to clean out the left overs in the frig as well a way to get my kids to eat lots of veggies. My children named the soup and I couldn't change the name though it's not an appetizing title.

Time 1h30m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 lbs stewing beef
5 -6 carrots (1/2 inch dice)
10 ounces frozen baby lima beans
10 ounces frozen broccoli florets
1/4 cup barley
1 small zucchini (diced)
1 small yellow squash (diced)
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
1 (1 1/2 ounce) package Knorr vegetable soup mix
32 ounces beef broth
11 1/2 ounces V8 vegetable juice
1 cup small shell pasta
1/4 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Brown Beef in hot oil in pan.
  • To this add beef Broth with the Knorr soup mix, barley that has been soaked for a few hours in water.
  • Add canned tomatoes and V-8 juice to suit your taste.
  • Add vegetables longest cooking first such as the lima beans, carrots then broccoli, zucchini and squash.
  • Add pasta last. It will swell and get over cooked if you cook too long. I usually turn the soup off and add the pasta, stir and let set about ½ hour. Or you can cook the pasta of choice separate and add to individual soup bowls as you serve it. You can adjust to your personal taste by adjusting V-8, beef broth and water.

GARBAGE SOUP



Garbage Soup image

This is a budget stretcher recipe where you use your potato peels. It can be the start of any type of soup you want to make, especially if you use method A. where you save it as a clear broth. Use in any recipe that calls for broth or consomme. If it cooks down add some more water (not too much) simmer on low heat covered

A great way to not waste a single bite of turkey. This is a delicious soup and one of my favorites. If you want to freeze some, leave out the potatoes.
