CROCK POT GROUND BEEF MINESTRONE SOUP
My husband and I were lifting the lid about every 15 minutes to taste the broth because it tasted so delicious to us. I slapped this recipe together yesterday for the first time and we will definitely be making this again and again. This experiment came out way better than expected. I hope you enjoy this as much as we did. I love soup loaded with vegetables in a flavorful tomato based broth. I was looking to use up two thawed uncooked hamburger patties along with a bunch of fresh veggies I had in my fridge.

BEEF MINESTRONE
A recipe from Taste of Home. It's low-salt and low-cal. 1 cup is 141 calories. Maybe I cooked it too much because it turned out more like a stew than a soup. But it was great and healthy.

Steps:
- In a Dutch oven, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink and onion is tender; drain. Add the water, potatoes, tomatoes, cabbage, carrots, celery, rice, thyme, bay leaf and cover and simmer for 1 hour.
- Discard bay leaf. Sprinkle each serving with 1/2 teaspoon of parmesan.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful vegetables, tender cuts of beef, and a flavorful broth are essential for a delicious minestrone. Look for ripe, in-season vegetables and use a good quality olive oil for sautéing.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too many ingredients to the pot, the vegetables will not cook evenly and the soup will be watery. Add the vegetables in batches, if necessary, and cook them until they are tender before adding the next batch.
- Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the soup, the better it will taste.
- Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add grated Parmesan cheese or a dollop of pesto for extra flavor.
- Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or a salad: This will help to round out the meal and make it more satisfying.
Conclusion:
Beef minestrone is a hearty, flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious minestrone that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a comforting and satisfying soup, give beef minestrone a try. You won't be disappointed!
