Ingredients
Beans, yellow and green snap, kidney, butter, lima canned 1 can each with liquid; Tomatoes, diced canned 4 cans with liquid; Corn, yellow and white hominy canned 1 can each with liquid; Peas, canned 1 with liquid; Beets, diced canned 1can with liquid; Onion, 1 large whole diiced to equal 2 cups;Pepper(s), 1 large diced to equal 2cups; Celery, 2-3 stalks as needed to equal 2 cups; Carrots, 1lb. cut into small slices; Potatoes, white 1lb.cut into small pieces; Cabbage, 1 head cut into small pieces; Oil, canola, 4 Tbsp; Beef, sirlion cut into bite size pieces; Beef broth, 2 large cans or boxes.
Directions
Cut the 3lb top sirlion into bite size pieces or ask your butcher to do this. Cut the onion, celery, peppers ( I listed green peppers, but I often use the multiple colored peppers available in the market, yellow, orange, red and also jalepeno, banana, ect.); into small pieces and add the oil to the soup pot. Saute the beef with the vegetables until the meat is brown and the vegetables are soft and lightly brown.Once this is completed, cut the potatoes and carrots, ( you can either scrub these vegetables and leave the "skin" on, or peel them first) into bite size pieces and add to the pot. Add beef broth to large soup pot and cook the carrots and potatoes until soft. This is the point where you can become creative. I add all my favorite vegetables. I use canned, but fresh is always best. I do not drain the vegetables but add liquid from the can. Some vegetables may need to be cut to make bitesize pieces. The cabbage is the final item, and is cut into small pieces. It takes less than 10 minutes to cook the cabbage through. I don't add any additional spices other than the salt and pepper I add to the beef as it sautes.
