Recipe Introduction
One of my favorite "diet" recipes.
List of Ingredients
3 cups water
3 beef bouillon granules
8 ounces extra lean ground beef
1 clove minced garlic
1/2 cup bell pepper -- chopped
1 1/2 cups tomato juice
1 cup canned kidney beans -- rinsed and drained
1 cup frozen corn
1/2 teaspoon basil
In a 3-quart saucepan, combine water and bouillon granules. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat until water barely simmers. Stir until bouillon granules are completely dissolved; set aside. In a heavy nonstick skillet brown ground beef. Stir with a fork to break up beef. Push browned beet to side of skillet. Tilt skillet to remove all but 1 teaspoon of drippings. Add garlic and bell pepper; saute 30 seconds. Spoon browned beet and sauteed vegetables into bouillon mixture. Add tomato juice, beans, corn and basil. Bring to a boil over medium heat; reduce heat until mixture barely simmers. Cover; simmer 15 minutes. 1 1/2 cups soup = 240 calories. 1 cup of soup = 160 calories.
Serves 6 small servings or 5 large servings.
