As requested by my millions of faithful readers...
Here is the recipe for "Skinny Beef & Barley Soup"...
Found this on Pinterest...
Hands up...
Who loves...
I sure do...
Once I got the hang of it...
Anyway...
Off we go...
Skinny Beef & Barley Soup...
* 2 containers of low-sodium beef broth
* 1 lb lean ground beef
* 2 carrots {sliced}
* 2 celery stocks {sliced}
* 1 zucchini {diced}
* 1 small onion chopped
* 1 small can diced tomatoes
* 1 cup barley
* 3 cups raw spinach
* freshly cracked pepper
* sea salt
* tsp thyme
* 1 bay leaf
* tsp ground sage
***********
Brown the ground beef and drain excess fat...
Add to the beef broth and barley...
Bring to a boil...simmer for 15 minutes...
Add everything except the spinach...
Simmer uncovered for a couple of hours...stirring occasionally...
I let it go all day...covering for a while, and then uncovering...
I also added a cup of water and an Aurora beef cube...
Couple of pinches of sea salt...
Plenty of cracked pepper...
Spinach at the very end...
I also added some lentils and beans...dry...not next time, as they did not cook all the way through...
I also added a small bit of tiny macaroni...
Apparently it freezes well....I don't have enough to freeze!!!!
It is also recognized by Weight Watchers and has about 100 calories/cup...
If you make it...let me know...it is one of those soups that you can really clean out your fridge...bok choy would be good!!
SO...there you go...hope you enjoy it!!!
Hope you all had a great day...
Still having some questionable weather here...some sun...mostly cloud...
And that relentless wind....geesh!!
We got a new car today...very happy...very snappy...Infiniti Q60S coupe!
Replaces our G37S...sad...but happy...beautiful car♥️
I have a ham bone in the slow cooker...
Pea soup is up next!!
I really do prefer cold weather comfort food...don't you??
Having crispy pork chops...roasted potatoes and carrots...bok choy...
Enjoy the rest of your day...
Cheers! :o)
