Sharon's Beef Soup

To be honest, I don't know who Sharon is but her beef soup is delicious! This recipe was passed along to me by my friend Aretha, who got it from our friend Angela, who got it from....???

I don't know who to give credit to but this hearty and delicious soup is a keeper.

In a large stock pot saute:

2 Tbsp olive oil

1 medium red onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

Add 1 lb ground beef

Now add:

5 small red potatoes, diced

3 carrots diced

2 stalks celery, diced

1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley

1 tsp paprika

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp salt

1 Tbsp bisto

1 large can tomato juice

1 10oz can beef broth

Bring to a boil and then simmer for 20 minutes

Now add:

1/2 small red pepper

1/2 cup pearl barley or miniature pasta

1 can corn

Simmer for 10 more minutes and enjoy!

I served this with Anneleise's delicious French Bread and it was a wonderful winter supper.
