Categories Roast Beef

Time 15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

5 cups low sodium beef broth
3/4 cup sour cream (we like to use the fat-free)
1 (1 ounce) teriyaki seasoning mix, McCormick Grill Mates (we can't find this in our local area so we use a package of beef and broccoli seasoning from the Asi)
1 (4 2/3 ounce) package noodles, Knorr Asian Sides Teriyaki
1 cup frozen carrots, crinkle-cut, thawed
1 (1 lb) package beef roast, Hormel Beef Au Jus, shredded
1 (16 ounce) package frozen broccoli florets, thawed
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

In a large heavy-bottomed pot, combine broth, sour cream, and teriyaki seasoning. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat;
Reduce heat to medium-low, add noodles, and cook for 5 minutes.
Add carrots, beef roast, broccoli, salt, and crushed red pepper.
Cook for 2 minutes longer. Serve immediately.

Tips:

Prep your ingredients in advance: Chop your vegetables, mince your garlic, and grate your cheese before you start cooking. This will make the cooking process much smoother and faster.
Use a good quality vegetable broth: The broth is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
Don't overcook your vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them just until they are tender-crisp.
Season your soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. Be careful not to over-season the soup, as you can always add more seasoning later.
Garnish your soup before serving: A simple garnish can make your soup look and taste even better. Try adding a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of chopped parsley, or a few croutons.

Broccoli soup is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a cold day. It is also a great way to use up leftover broccoli.
