INGREDIENTS
- 1-1 1/2lbstewing beef
- 1 (46 ounce)bottlevegetable juice, such as V8
- 1cupwater
- 1 (28 ounce)candiced tomatoes
- 1 (16 ounce)bagmixed vegetables
- 8ouncesbaby butter beans
- 1/2mediumonion, diced
- 1-2tablespoonoil, plus
- 1-2tablespoonbutter
- 1-2tablespoonflour
- 2bay leaves
- 1-2teaspoonItalian spices
- salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
- garlic powder, sugar or Splenda sugar substitute
- 2-3mediumpotatoes, diced (optional) or1/4 cupelbow macaroni (optional)
DIRECTIONS
- In a dutch oven or large pot brown you onions and stew beef in the oil and butter.
- Sprinkle the flour over the beef and cook a few minutes. The flour will help thicken the soup.
- Add remaining ingredients.
- Stir well, scraping up any yummy brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Bring all to a boil, then turn down on low and let simmer forhours. Check it often to make sure it is not sticking or burning.
- You will need to taste and season how you like it. Everyone is different. I do add a sprinkling of sugar or splenda to help with the acidity.
- If you decided to add potatoes, add them along with everything else. If macaroni, add in before eating allowing time for them to cook, but not be mushy. Macaroni can be tricky, if cooked too long they turn into mush and you end up with Vegetable Beef Wallpaper Paste!
