Vegetable Beef Soup With Orzo Recipes

HOMEMADE VEGETABLE BEEF SOUP

Steps:

• Mix beef broth and beef stew meat in a large pot over medium heat. Bring broth to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cook beef at a simmer until tender, about 45 minutes.
• Stir corn, green beans, tomato sauce, and tomato paste with the beef. Pour tomato-vegetable juice cocktail into the pot; season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat to low, and cook for 5 hours.

ONE POT VEGETABLE ORZO SOUP RECIPE

Steps:

• Dice the carrots, celery & onion. Heat a large Dutch Oven over medium heat. When it is good & hot, add the olive oil.
• Then add the carrots, celery, onion and the spices - Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes.
• Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften. Add in the garlic & sauté for about another minute, until the garlic becomes fragrant.
• Run your knife thru the spinach a couple times, chopping it into bite sized pieces. Add it to the soup pot.
• Next add the pasta and give everything a good stir, scrape the bottom of the pot to loosen the brown bits. Pour in the tomatoes, stock and water.
• Increase the heat to high and stir well to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium - you'll still want to keep it a light bubble and cook until the orzo is cooked thru - about 8-9 minutes.
• Continue to stir the soup often. The orzo has a tendency to stick to the bottom of the pan. In addition, stirring it will release the starches in the pasta and help to thicken the soup.
• When the orzo is cooked, remove the soup from the heat. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and about a tablespoon of chopped parsley for bright fresh flavor.

BEEF VEGETABLE SOUP WITH ORZO PASTA

Steps:

• 1. My husband helped me with this soup because I wasn't feeling well, he seared all of the meat, in 3 different batches, but didn't take any pictures of it being seared. I am sorry. You do not need to over crowd the pot, or the meat will steam instead of sear on all sides. I originally made a crusty bread to serve with this soup but it was all gone before I could take a picture of it with the soup, hence the crackers you see in the picture.
• 2. Add all the spices to a small bowl.
• 3. Stir to blend together.
• 4. Season meat generously with spice blend.
• 5. Add cornstarch to meat and coat on all sides. Sear meat in batches. By adding canola oil to large pot, then heat till hot, then drop enough of the beef into the pot to cover the bottom, being careful not to overcrowd. Brown on all sides, then remove meat with a slotted spoon to a large platter, and repeat till all the meat has been browned.
• 6. Wash, peel and chop all of the veggies and leave in pan till needed.
• 7. Add all of the seared meat back into the large pot.
• 8. Add the crushed tomatoes, & vegetable juice & bay leaves.
• 9. Stir to mix together till blended together in pot.
• 10. Add beef broth.
• 11. Then add the 2 cups of red wine. LOWER heat and continue to cook for at least 2 to 2 and a half hours till meat becomes very tender.
• 12. After about 1 and a half hours into cooking time add the chopped vegetables, and continue to cook for an additional half hour, stirring periodically to prevent mixture from sticking to bottom of the pot.
• 13. After 2 hours add the orzo pasta, and stir to blend, but continue to cook until pasta is tender about 10 to 15 minutes or so.DO NOT FORGET TO STIR TO PREVENT STICKING IN BOTTOM OF POT.
• 14. Ladle soup into serving bowls.
• 15. Serve with your favorite crusty bread or crackers as desired.
