I started out with some stew meat I had left over. I seasoned it up with salt and pepper and browned it in my pan. Not to cook it through but to "braise" it basically.
I fried up a few pieces of bacon I had then set those aside.
I chopped up some celery, carrots and red onion and sweat them out a bit.
Then I chopped up the rest of the huge zucchini I got out of my garden and a few red potatoes. Then I grated in about 4 cloves of garlic.
After I let that cook out for a couple minutes I added two cans of white beans, one can diced tomatoes and one can if corn. Add them with all their juices then add four more can fulls of water. I also added some of my cherry tomatoes and diced up some of my other tomatoes from my garden.
After I added all of that I thought why not add that little bit of ground beef I had left over. So I browned that up and added it to the soup with the stew meat and diced up bacon.
Now let it all simmer for 45 minutes to an hour so your stew meat can get super tender. About 10 minutes before I was about to serve I added 3/4 cup of my favorite pasta for soups. Acini Di Pepe.
Now just serve it up!!!
See how easy that was?? It was super delicious! Make sure you season this with salt and pepper to your liking. If I would have had some fresh parmesan I would have grated some up on top. Mmmm!
I know it's summer but we love to enjoy all types of food year round. People think we are crazy because we BBQ with a foot of snow on the ground and eat soups in the winter!! I don't mind it a bit! ;-)
Hope you all enjoy!
