Minestrone Soup

Minestrone is usually completely without meat. Growing up, my mom always added 2 lbs of beef but it is great with or without.

1 large onion sliced

2 lbs cubed beef

Brown this together in a butter in a large dutch oven.

Add-

2 cans bullion

2 cans tomato (1 crushed)

2 packages mixed frozen veggies

2 packages chopped broccoli

1-2 cloves garlic crushed

2 Tablespoons olive oil

You can use any leftover vegetables you have on hand.

Season to taste with salt, pepper, basil, oregano, parsley.

Add enough water to make a good consistency cook for 2-3 hours over low heat.
