I am the soup queen!

Wow go me – 2 posts in the same week….impressed much? 😉

Since the bad weather has made us all cold and yucky I have taken to making a shit load of soup.

My latest is a Beef soup. And so far it seems to be the one that we love the most as is so easy to make.

I am going to share the recipe with you guys so you can enjoy it as much as we do lol

Ingredients:

• knob of butter
• 1 onion chopped
• 250g of diced beef
• 500g pack of diced carrot and swede
• 100g pearl barley
• 4 beef stock cubes

Method:

1. Fill your kettle up and stick it on to boil.
2. Add the butter and chopped onion to your soup pan and stir until the butter has melted, then add in the diced beef and brown for 3 to 4 mins.
3. Add in carrots/swede and pearl barley and give it a stir.
4. By now kettle should have boiled so add water to the pan then crumble in the stock cubes.
5. Give it a good stir for a few mins to allow the stock cubes to dissolve.
6. Bring to the boil then allow to simmer for 1 hour.

Really simple and tastes delicious – I haven’t added about putting salt and pepper in as the stock cubes give it all the seasoning it needs but feel free to add as desired =) I know everyone has different tastes.

Enjoy!
