New recipe

Hubby and I enjoyed this soup recipe I made last week while the snow was flying. Several people have asked me to post it. Enjoy!

Beef, Potato and Quinoa Soup

    2 tsp olive oil

    6-7 scallions, chopped

    2 cloves garlic, minced

    1 tomato, diced

    1 tsp cumin

    1/2 tsp Badia Sazon with Annato (I've never heard of this and will use it another time)

    1/2 lb beef, cubed into small bite size pieces (I used beef tenderloin)

    5 cups water

    beef bullion

    1 carrot, peeled and sliced

    2 tbsp yellow bell pepper, diced

    2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed

    1 cup cooked quinoa

    6 tbsp fresh chopped cilantro

    salt and pepper to taste

                                                         

Saute oil in a large pot, add scallions and garlic and sauté until soft over medium heat, about 3 minutes. Add tomato, cumin, sazon with achiote, 1/4 cup cilantro and cook another 2 minutes. Add beef, water, bullion, carrot, bell pepper, salt and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer on low about 1-1/2 hours, until meat is tender.

Add potato and cooked quinoa and cook an additional 25 minutes. Add remaining chopped cilantro and serve.
