INGREDIENTS
5 oz Lean Beef
1 medium Onion
1 medium Carrot
1 stalk Celery
1 cup Low-Sodium Beef Broth
1 slice Whole Grain Bread
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Slice the lean beef into small bite-sized pieces. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Thinly slice the onion and set aside. Peel and dice the carrot, and chop the celery.
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté slowly, stirring occasionally, until they become deeply caramelized, about 10 minutes.
Add the beef pieces to the pan with the onions. Sauté until the beef is browned on all sides.
Stir in the diced carrot and chopped celery, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Pour in the low-sodium beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow the soup to simmer gently for 10 minutes, so the flavors meld together.
While the soup simmers, toast the whole grain bread slice in a toaster or on a dry skillet until lightly crisp, then cut it into small crouton-sized pieces.
Ladle the hot soup into a bowl and top with the crispy whole grain croutons. Serve warm and enjoy the blend of savory beef, sweet caramelized onions, and satisfying crunch.
