Know About the Muriel Humphrey Beef Soup Recipe

Soup is great because it’s cheap, filling, and versatile. But most soups aren’t very healthy. They usually contain lots of sodium, fat, and calories. And even worse, many store-bought soups are loaded with artificial ingredients.

But not this soup! This soup is made from scratch using only fresh ingredients. It contains no preservatives, additives, or artificial flavours. This soup is so healthy that it’s perfect for vegans and vegetarians who love vegetable beef soup too.

Ingredients:

Chuck roast: Boneless chuck roast is often used in beef soup recipes because it cooks quickly and evenly. It also holds its shape well when cooked. We are using a 1-pound boneless chuck roast (or any other lean cut)

Olive oil: Olive oil is added to the beef soup recipe so that the meat will absorb its flavour. It also helps keep the meat tender. We are using 2 tablespoons of olive oil. 

Onion: Onions are often added to soups for their flavour and colour. They also help thicken the broth. We are using 1 large onion, chopped.

Carrots: Carrots are often added to soups or stews for their sweetness and colour. They also add flavour and nutrients to the dish. We are using 3 carrots.

Celery stalks: Celery stalks are often added to soups for their flavour and texture. They add a nice crunchy texture to the broth and help thicken it. We are using 4 celery stalks.

Garlic: Garlic is added to beef soup recipes to help reduce harmful cholesterol levels. It also helps boost the immune system. Plus, it’s a great source of vitamin C and B vitamins. We are using 6 garlic cloves,

Wine: Wine makes a delicious base for a hearty beef soup. It adds flavour and helps thicken the broth. You can use any kind of red or white wine you like. Just be sure to buy one with no added sugar. We are using ½ cup of red wine. You can use any wine of your preference.

Beef stock: If you’re making beef soup, you’ll want to ensure that you have some good quality beef stock on hand. This can be made by simmering bones with water or other liquids for hours and straining out the solids after they’ve cooked. It’s also possible to buy a beef stock at the supermarket, but if you make this yourself, you should know that many different types of beef stock are available. Some people like to add vegetables such as carrots, celery, onions, garlic, herbs, spices and/or wine to their stock. Others don’t bother adding anything else. We are using 1/2 cups beef stock for this recipe.

Bay leaf: Bay leaves are native to southern Europe and were brought over by Christopher Columbus when he landed in America. They’re often found in Italian dishes, soups, stews, and meat sauces. We are using 1 bay leaf for flavour.

Salt & pepper to taste.
