Low Carb Soup In Under An Hour!

On Thursday evenings we have Bible Study in a home nearby.  We all bring something for dinner to share.  I’ll be honest here and tell you, I am usually running crazy right up until time to go trying to get my work done on the blog so I can go.  That leaves Hubby to fix something for us to take.

Well, this past Thursday he was the one running behind and I found myself 1 hour from time to go and nothing prepared and no thought as to what I was going to do!

So, this low carb soup in under an hour was born!  I was running late as I said so I didn’t get any pics of the prep work, just the soup as it was cooking.

Here’s my recipe for a quick soup that is low carb, too!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb Hamburger
• 1/2 cup Mushrooms – chopped
• 1 Zucchini – sliced
• 1 White Onion  – diced
• 1 can Diced Tomatoes
• 2 Beef Bullion Cubes
• 32 oz Beef Broth
• 1 Green Pepper – diced
• 3 celery stalks – diced
• Italian Seasoning to taste
• Salt & Pepper to taste

Directions:

• Bring broth, bullion, and 5 cups water to boil.
• Brown hamburger. Saute onion, celery, mushroom, and green pepper until soft in small amount of olive oil.
• Add hamburger, sauteed vegetables and sliced zucchini to the pot.
• Season to taste.
• Bring to a boil.
• Simmer 30 – 45 minutes.

I served it with fresh grated Parmesan cheese.

It was a hit!  Fastest soup I have EVER cooked – but, it tasted great!
