A delicious, easy to prepare, and healthful soup based upon a recipe from Fred Wix, who is also known as the Gabby Gourmet. Ingredients:
8 ounces penne pasta |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 1/2 lbs top sirloin steaks, cut into 1/2-inch pieces |
1 medium onion, chopped |
1 cup chopped celery |
1 cup chopped carrot |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
6 cups low sodium chicken broth or 6 cups vegetable broth |
1 (28 ounce) can diced italian-style tomatoes |
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce |
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans |
1 (15 ounce) can corn |
1/2 teaspoon dried basil |
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme |
salt |
fresh ground black pepper |
fresh grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and set aside.
2. Meanwhile, saute beef, onion, and celery in olive oil for 2-3 minutes; add carrots and garlic; saute another 1-2 minutes until beef is just cooked.
3. Combine beef mixture, broth, tomatoes, tomato sauce, beans, corn, and herbs in stockpot; simmer for 20 minutes or until flavors are blended and all vegetables are tender; add pasta and heat through; add salt and fresh-ground black pepper to taste; serve topped with fresh grated parmesan cheese ~ and as the Gabby Gourmet always says, Enjoy!
4. NOTE: 8 ounce uncooked penne pasta is 2 1/2 cups.
