I only make soup when it's cold, like last week. My go to is what I just call....soup!
In reality, it's probably a beef vegetable soup.
Ingredients:
1 large round steak: can substitute with the prepackaged stew meat
3 or 4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 yellow or white onion diced
2 or 3 peeled potatoes, diced
1 small pakage of frozen okra
1 small can whole corn
1 reg. size can of cut green beans
3 or 4 carrots sliced thin
3 or 4 stalks of celery diced
1 reg. size can of stewed tomatoes, either whole or diced
2 or 3 bay leafs
2 to 3 table spoons of chilli powder
salt and pepper to taste
I make this in a 1 1/2 gallon pressure cooker pot.
Start by trimming the fat from the steak, this I put in the pot on high heat and render the fat....it's really the secret to a great soup!
After that, I cut the steak into bite size squares or chunks. Brown the meat, along with the onion and garlic.
When all browned and garlic and onions sautéed, add 1/2 gallon of water and bring to a boil. Add celery, carrots, potatoes and let cook until they are soft. Might have to add more water during this time. Add green beans, corn, tomatoes, okra and bay leaf. Top off the pot with water and bring to a boil again. Add the chilli powder to taste and let cook on low to medium heat for 30 to 45 minutes....the longer it cooks the better it will taste, as all the ingredients meld together.
