Vegetable Beef Soup

This recipe is a favorite of my husbands and was given to me by his mom, but I tweaked it just a little bit....to add some more vegetables and to make it an easy go-to recipe for us in the winter!

1 white onion, chopped

3 garlic cloves, chopped

1 teaspoon light olive oil

1 small box of frozen sliced okra

I small box of frozen cut green beans

1 small box of frozen peas and carrots

1 small box of frozen lima beans

3 potatoes peeled and cut into small cubes

1 beef bullion cube

2 cans diced tomatoes

3 cups of water

1 package of beef stew meat (or you can have your butcher cube it for you)

In a large stockpot add the olive oil, garlic, beef and onions....let that simmer for about 5 to 7 minutes. Then add the 3 cups of water and the cans of tomatoes, bring to a boil and add the beef bullion cube. Let that simmer for about 10 minutes. Add the rest of the vegetables. Cook on medium medium/low heat for 30 to 45 minutes or until vegetables are cooked through. Enjoy
