Beef & Vegetable Soup

Ingredients

• 3 cups low-sodium stock
• 1 tbsp olive oil

   Dice 200g lean ground beef or small beef pieces and peel and cube 2 potatoes and 2 carrots into small 1cm pieces.

2. 2

   Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the beef and cook, breaking up any lumps, until completely browned.

3. 3

   Add the diced potato and carrot, along with 3 cups of no-salt-added beef or vegetable stock. Bring to a boil.

   Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 25–30 minutes until all vegetables are completely tender.
