Day Nine

What a perfect meal for a overcast cold day. This is Brian's Grandmother Jane's vegetable beef soup. Man, was it good. It's so easy and so delicious. We are expecting snow and ice tonight. School is already canceled for tomorrow. The sleet started coming down around 4 o'clock. Fingers crossed we keep our power. 

Recipe for Grandmother Jane's Soup

1 lb ground beef
1/2 onion chopped
handful of baby carrots sliced
5 small potatoes quartered and sliced
1/2 celery stalk sliced thin
1 can of corn and juice
1 can green beans and juice
2 cans pinto beans
1 can diced tomatoes
2 cans Campbell's Tomato soup
Black pepper to taste
4 cups Vegetable or Beef stock

Brown ground beef in the bottom of your soup pot. Push meat aside and saute onions . Add the stock, carrots,potatoes and celery. Add water to cover if the stock doesn't cover it all. Cook on high till vegetables are tender. Add in the green beans, pintos, corn, diced tomatoes, pepper and turn down heat to low and let it cook for 10 minutes. Add tomato soup at the end and stir well to blend. Let it cook for a few minutes then serve. Enjoy it's awesome!

Oh and this recipe is for the soup we made today thats is in the picture above. Grandmother would have used some other ingredients like frozen lima beans and canned english peas but we used the things listed above because that is what was in the pantry.
