Kansas City Steak Soup


Despite its name, this filling vegetable-beef soup has traditionally been made with ground beef. In this updated version, the percentage of calories from fat has been pared to 23%, but the full rich flavor remains. If time permits, allow the soup to simmer an additional 30 minutes--the flavors just get better and better.
 
Ingredients
1/2 pound 95% lean ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
3 cups frozen mixed vegetables
2 cups water
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) stewed tomatoes, undrained
1 cup sliced celery
1 beef bouillon cube
1/2 to 1 teaspoon black pepper
1 can (10-1/2 ounces) fat-free beef broth
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
   
1. Spray Dutch oven with nonstick cooking spray. Brown beef 6 to 8 minutes over medium-high heat, stirring to break up meat. Drain fat.
2. Add vegetables, water, tomatoes with juice, celery, bouillon cube and pepper. Bring to a boil. Whisk together beef broth and flour until smooth; add to beef mixture, stirring constantly. Return mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
 
Note   If time permits, allow the soup to simmer an additional 30 minutes. The flavors just get better and better!
