My husband craves meat on the daily, while I'm more of a veg head, so to satisfy both of our needs, I make a big pot of this delicious, nutritious, and health-full soup for quick lunches, or dinners during the week.  He gets the ground beef, I get as much veg as I want (or have in the fridge), and adding just a bit of whole grain to the soup helps to keep from needing absolutely anything else other than a big bowl of this grounding goodness!  

Healthy Hamburger Bone Broth Soup

Serves 6

Ingredients:

• 1 pound grass-fed, organic ground beef

• 1 medium onion, chopped

• dash of Worcestershire sauce

• 3 gloves garlic, minced

• 3 medium carrots, cut into rounds

• 3 stalks of, celery chopped

• 1 28oz can diced or crushed organic tomatoes- try to find BPA-free lined cans in the natural food isle

• 1/3 cup uncooked quinoa

• 4 cups High-Vibe beef or bison bone broth

• ¼-½ teaspoon sea salt- more or less depending on if there’s any salt in the canned tomatoes, and to your personal taste

• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

• 1 teaspoon dried parsley

• Optional* - 1 cup cut fresh or frozen green beans, 1 zucchini chopped into quarter moons and/or a handful of chopped mushrooms

Directions:

In a large, heavy bottomed saucepan, brown beef with chopped onion until onion is translucent, about 8 minutes, then add a couple shakes of Worcestershire sauce & stir to combine. Add the next 10 ingredients, bring to a boil, reduce heat, and cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until quinoa and carrots are tender.

Optional* - Add the green beans, zucchini, mushrooms- or all of them!

Cover and simmer 5-10 minutes longer, or until the veggies are tender. 

Soup should be somewhat thick, but if you like your soups more “brothy”, simply add another cup or 2 of bone broth to the recipe!

Happy Nourishing!
