EASY BEEF CURRY IN A HURRY
A great easy and tasty curry recipe from Campbell's soup. Easy to make and really doesnt take as much time as most curry recipes. We dont like things to hot, and never really eaten curry dishes, but this recipe introduced the family to curry, and the family really enjoyed the flavours of a light curry. I served over plain rice, but you could use your own preference..

Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your soup more flavor and nutrients. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and tomatoes.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and herbs. A little bit of cumin, chili powder, or oregano can go a long way in enhancing the flavor of your soup.
- If you're short on time, you can use pre-cut vegetables or canned tomatoes. This will save you a lot of prep time.
- Be careful not to overcook your soup. Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and lose their flavor.
- Serve your soup with a side of bread, crackers, or salad. This will help to make a complete meal.
