GROUND BEEF SOUP
1 lb. extra lean ground beef
1 c. or 1 large onion, diced
1 c. baby lima beans – dry
4 cans (540mL) drained & rinsed chick peas
3/4 c. pearl or pot barley
1 can (369 mL) tomato paste
1 package (300 g) chopped & frozen spinach
2 parsnips (2 cups) diced 1/4”
3 carrots (2 cups) diced 1/4”
2 tblsp. parsley
1 tblsp. oregano
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. basil
1 tsp. black pepper
1 clove of garlic
6 c. water
Brown beef in sautéed onions - or - do not brown any ingredients - just add
to the crock pot.
Place all ingredients in 7.5 L. slow cooker and simmer on high for 4 hours
or low for 7.
Check to see if lima beans are soft or cook for another hour.
Add 2 cups of water during the last 1/2 hour if it looks too stiff, eh!
*NOTE* - We have not tried this recipe with dry chick peas yet!
You can substitute a large variety of vegetables of your choice or whatever
is on hand.
Makes 4 quarts
