I got roped into a recipe exchange and just received my first recipe. Since you are the Soup Maven, I thought I would share it with you. It is similar to a recipe my best friend used to make, one of only two dishes she knew how to cook when I met her. She called it Hamburger Stew. I may try this, when the weather gets much cooler. Manhattan Super Soup - serves 6-8 1 pound ground beef 2 cups cabbage, chopped 1 large onion, chopped 1 stalk celery, chopped 1 medium potato, cubed (can make it 2) 1 6-oz can tomato paste 1 14 oz can diced tomatoes 2 10-1/2 oz cans beef broth 1 10-oz package frozen peas 1/2 cup water 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1/2 teaspoon sugar Sauté meat until brown, drain fat, Add remaining ingredients EXCEPT peas. Bring to a boil. Simmer 50 minutes. Add peas, cook for 10 more minutes Serve with warm buttered French bread for a complete meal. |

Simmer 50 minutes. >Add peas, cook for 10 more minutes Simmering ground beef for only an hour is just enough time to toughen it, would be like eating grains of sand... either cook it longer (at least 2 hours) or better, use it to prepare small meat balls, fry/bake em, add to soup and simmer until tender... don't add raw meatballs to soup, unless you're a golfer. Personally I wouldn't use au jus ground beef in a vegetable soup, wouldn't look very attractive either. I prepare tomato based cabbage soup often, with carrots and potatoes (peas don't go with cabbage) but I use diced beef chuck (1/2' dice, well browned), or a nice chunk of flanken when I can find it, and cook until buttery tender... I simmer it all day... don't forget a fistful of raisins and a bay leaf. ---= BOYCOTT FRANCE (belgium) GERMANY--SPAIN =--- ---= Move UNITED NATIONS To Paris =--- ********* "Life would be devoid of all meaning were it without tribulation."

It's 7.99 at the super market and more at the butcher. That's for a bunch of bones and lots of fat, with a thin layer of meat in between. As for the length of cooking the soup, I will have to see how it works out for me. If you say that ground meat gets tough from over-cooking, I may start cooking the vegetables and add the meat later. Dried mushrooms and a nice marrow bone would add a lot of flavor, too. |

Yes, very expensive... sometimes I see a nice one so that's when I buy... flanken used to be a freebie, along with bones and liver.

Gets tough from UNdercooking... simmer the meat first, add the veggies after the meat gets a head start >Dried mushrooms and a nice marrow bone would add a lot of flavor, too.
