Souper Saturday!

It is Saturday and time for another Souper Saturday post! Check out my other great soup recipes here.

I received this recipe from my friend Elisa who just recently started couponing/grocery gaming/and reading my blog. I have not tried this recipe, but it sounds so yummy and comforting.

Quick Italian Beef & Vegetable Soup

1 lb lean ground beef
1 large garlic clove; crushed
2 cans (13 3/4 oz) beef broth
1 can 14 1/2 oz Italian style stewed tomatoes; undrained
4-5 carrots
3-4 medium potatoes
1 can 15 oz white beans; kidney or great northern beans (drained and rinsed)
1 can of green beans

Brown beef and garlic. Pour off drippings. Season w/pepper and italian seasonings. Meanwhile, steam potatoes and carrots until tender. In a large pot, combine tomatoes, broth, green beans, kidney beans or great northern beans. Add beef, carrots, and potatoes. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 10 -15 minutes.

**If I have more time put the carrots and potatoes in the crock pot raw with the rest of the ingredients and let it cook all day.**

TEASER FOR NEXT WEEK: I'm excited because I got my 1st issue of All You for October, they had my address wrong, so I got it late :(. There is an insert with some crock pot recipes (LOVE these). One of them is for White Bean and Chicken Chili - I have been wanting to try something like this for a long time. I'll try it this week, if it is good, I'll post it for next Saturday!
