I couldn't think of anything better to have for dinner on this cold, snowy, January evening than Tortellini Vegetable Beef Soup. There is a TV cooking show hostess named Sandra Lee and she used to have a show on Food Network called Semi-Homemade. If I had to put a label on this type of recipe it would be Semi-Homemade. Its a mixture of canned or frozen ingredients that you add to fresh ingredients and make your own Homemade Soup.
Tortellini Vegetable Beef Soup
3/4-1 lb ground beef
1/4 cup water
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic salt
1 (15 oz) can Mixed Vegetables
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup frozen lima beans
1/2 cup frozen sweet peas
1 cup frozen brussels sprouts, thawed & chopped
3 1/2 cups water
1 Knorr Homestyle Vegetable Stock tub
1/2 Knorr Homestyle Beef Stock tub
1 (64 oz) can or bottle tomato juice (or V-8 juice)
2 bay leaves
1 tsp italian seasoning
1 package fresh or frozen cheese tortellini
In a large stock pot over medium heat, cook ground beef in 1/4 cup water. The water helps break up the ground beef into smaller pieces. If you like larger bite sized pieces of beef, omit the 1/4 cup water. Season the ground beef with worcestershire sauce, onion powder and garlic salt. Drain the ground beef. I like to cook the brussels sprouts in a little water in the microwave for 5 minutes while the ground beef is cooking. Remove the brussels sprouts from the microwave, drain and chop into bite sized pieces. Add all ingredients to the large stock pot except tortellini and heat to a boil. Cook over medium heat for 5-10 minutes to cook the frozen vegetables. Add tortellini and cook according to the package directions. Serve with crackers, corn bread or garlic bread.
