VEGETABLE BEEF SOUP FOR ONE
1/2 cup small beef cubes (about 1/4"x1/4" small!)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp. cornstarch
1-1/2 cups beef broth
2 tbsp barley
1/2 cup broccoli
1/4 cup diced zucchini pieces
1/4 cup cut corn
1 tomato, diced small
Satue the beef in the olive oil for 3 to 5 minutes, until browned. Stir in the cornstarch until it coats the meat, then slowly stir in the beef broth. Add the barley, heat to a boil, and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the vegetables and simmer another 10 minutes. Note to Paula: substitute diced potatoes for the barley, and it's gluten free for your baby. I have no potatoes in the house. ( How did that happen, I wonder?) This is another picture taken for your benefit, before I poured it in the blender. You really don't want to see pictures of brown mush with green grains in it, do you? It's just not a pretty sight.
But, hey, I go see Kevin and get my temporary crown Monday, so if he hasn't beaten up my gums too badly, I can eat real food Monday! Hooray!

Hi Marjie! Another great soup recipe. I just love beef veggie soup when it has corn in it. This will be a great soup for my little one (and me, too!). I like how you diced the meat small; I don't enjoy gigantic slabs of meat falling off my spoon. Also, I'm interested in your use of cornstarch. In the past, I'd have added flour, but obviously can't do that now. I'll have to give cornstarch a try. Great advice, too, about the potatoes. And ... I like soup both like this and pureed. It's been a cool weather summer here as well, perfect for soup. I hope your tooth doesn't give you trouble today, and good luck tomorrow with Kevin. Keep on with the soup recipes though! I LOVE them!
This looks delicious, a great way to use up some veggies around here!
Sorry about your tooth...ouch.
You poor thing! But your soups do sound good!
