VEGETABLE BEEF SOUP

Vegetable and beef soup consists of tender pieces of pork neck cooked with onions, celery, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes and green beans. I love serving this flavorful soup with crusty French bread or cornbread with soft, sweet butter. This beef and vegetable soup is a healthy and nutritious fall and winter meal to enjoy with your family. Nothing warms the soul like a bowl of hot soup.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 1/2 tablespoons
• Canola Oil 3-4 pounds
• Chuck Roast 7-8 cups
• Low Sodium Beef Broth 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 onion, medium chopped
• 2 celery ribs, chopped
• 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram Coffee
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
• 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
• 2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, diced
• 1/4 pounds green beans, cleaned and cut into 1-inch segments
• 1 can (14.5 ounces) cherry tomatoes, diced
• 1 tablespoon Worchestershire sauce

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil in a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the cooked pork neck and fry until golden brown on all sides. Add about 3 cups beef broth (or enough to cover), black pepper, and bay leaves. Simmer 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until tender.
2. After the meat has cooked for about 2 hours, heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil in a separate pot or thick broth over medium heat.Add onion, celery, and carrot; Cook 5 to 7 hours or until onions and celery are soft. Reduce heat to low and add garlic, parsley, oregano, marjoram, thyme and basil. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
3. Add 4 cups beef broth, potatoes, green beans, diced tomatoes and Worcestershire sauce. Pour in 1 1/2 cups of the broth in which you prepared the pork neck roast, being careful not to discard the bay leaves. Cook until vegetables are tender; 20-30 minutes.
4. Remove the pork neck roast from the pan and let it cool on a cutting board. Grate it with two forks, removing fat and gristle. Add the minced meat to the pan and heat for 5 minutes.
