Beef and Pepper Soup – Metabolic balance Monday Recipe

Ingredients

  • extra-lean ground beef
  •  Vegetable serving of diced onion, minced cauliflower, chopped bell peppers and diced tomatoes
  • Vegetable stock (to cover ingredients)
  • Dried basil
  • Dried oregano
  • Cloves garlic, crushed
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • olive oil

Instructions

  1. Cook the onion and the garlic for 1 minute in a pan with a bit of vegetable broth.
  2. Add the beef and cook until the meat is browned.
  3. Place the beef and onion mixture in the slow cooker.
  4. Add the remaining ingredients and season to taste. Only used dried seasoning which can handle the long cooking time. Save fresh seasoning to add right before serving.
  5. Stir and make sure all ingredients are covered by water.  Do not add too much vegetable broth. If you want a thinner soup, you can add more broth before serving.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.

NOTE:

It is easy to place the ingredients into a slow cooker so you can have a warm homemade soup for lunch. I use a special container created by Alfi that is a bit wider at the mouth so that I can easily clean it but don’t need to use a spoon, I can just sip my soup as long as it isn’t too bulky. (works great with our carrot soup recipes.   Don’t forget that you can add Rye croutons or a piece of rye bread to this meal and a piece of fruit.  All will fit nicely into your lunch bag/tote.

If you are having issues with not feeling full, eat more soups.  Soup helps you feel satiated longer. We will talk about that tomorrow. How to feel like you ate a meal and what to do when you don’t (You still want to eat but already ate.)
