Subj : Freezer Friendly - 25 To : All From : Dave Drum Date : Mon Sep 19 2022 17:00:00 This is one of my own since the New York Times was so inconsiderate as to put up 24 freezer ready recipes. This is just to round out the last group of five. And it has the bonus of being pretty darned good. MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Dave's Freezer Vegetable-Beef Soup Categories: Beef, Vegetables, Potatoes Yield: 9 Servings 1 Can (or 2) frozen left-over - vegetables; corn, peas, - green beans, carrots, and/ - or broccoli/cauliflower 2 Sliced carrots; if needed 3 Ribs celery w/tops; sliced 2 md Onions; diced 2 md Potatoes; peeled, diced 1/4" 14 oz Can diced tomatoes; - undrained 3 c Water 1 ts Salt 4 Cracked peppercorns 1 lb Leftover beef; diced * 3 ts GFS/Minor's beef base Take the container(s) of left-over vegetables from the freezer and put into a 5 (or so) quart crock-pot. While the pot is melting the frozen ingredients prepare the carrots, celery, onion, and taters. Add to the pot. Open the can of tomatoes, pour over other ingredients in the crock-pot. Heat the water to a simmer, add the beef, beef base and salt/pepper, stirring well until beef base is dissolved and all is well combined. Remove from heat and pour over crock-pot ingredients. Cover and cook for 3 to 4 hours (high) or 6 to 8 hours (low) Serves six to twelve servings NOTE: I save bits and bobs of leftover veg in a washed and cleaned tomato juice can, covering each addition with water and freezing as I go. When I have a can (or two) full I am ready to make this soup. Uncle Dirty Dave's Kitchen MMMMM .... I finally got eight hours of sleep. It took me three days, but whatever. --- MultiMail/Win v0.52 * Origin: SouthEast Star Mail HUB - SESTAR (1:3634/12) .
