Steak and Vegetable Soup
February 17, 2009
This was a quick and easy 15 minute (to prepare), hearty soup that is perfect for a weeknight! Steak and vegetable soup creates a hearty magic that will warm up old man winter himself, according to my source for this recipe, Gourmet.com. This recipes only serves 2, so if your preparing for more than 2 people, you will have to adjust accordingly. I picked this recipe because of all the fresh vegies; carrots, onion, celery, yukon gold potatoes, garlic, fresh thyme, and kale. Kale, considered a highly nutritious vegetable with powerful antioxidants is high in vitamin C, beta carotene, vitamin K, and calcium. It also contains sulfurophane (a chemical believed to have anti-cancer properties), according to this link here. I also added about 1 cup of fresh button mushrooms that were left over from the night before. Please enjoy!

- 1/2 lb. boneless loin steak (New York strip), trimmed of excess fat and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 carrots thinly sliced
- 2 celery ribs, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
- 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 2 tsp. finely chopped thyme
- 1/2 lb. yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
- 1 cup diced tomatoes with some juice (from a 14-oz. can)
- 1-3/4 cups beef broth
- 2-1/4 cups water
- 2 cups chopped kale leaves
- 1 cup medium egg noodles
Pat steak dry. Heat oil in a 4-to 5-qt heavy pot over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Cook steak until browned on all sides and medium-rare, about 3 minutes, then transfer to a plate.
Cook onion, carrots, celery, garlic, thyme, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper in pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened but not browned, about 8 minutes. Stir in potatoes, tomatoes with juice, broth, and water and simmer, partially covered, until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in kale and cook, uncovered, until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in steak with meat juices, cooked noodles, and salt and pepper to taste.
