Tastefully Simple Tonight- Beef and Onion Vegetable Soup

This is my favorite so far!  I have two yummy recipes to talk about one from the collection- Beef and Onion Vegetable Soup, and one tat began as a recipe and then turned into my own twist on Beer Bread!  So yummy!

OK here are the ingredients for the bread.

So basically, you mix 2Tbls (or a Cap full-isn't it so cool that Tastefully Simple makes it that easy!) of Garlic Garlic, 4 oz ea Shredded Cheddar and Shredded Parmesan cheeses in with the package of Bountiful Beer Bread.  Then pour in the 12 oz of beer and fold in as you normally would for Bountiful Beer Bread.  Grease the bread pan and spread the dough inside.  Melt 3-4 Tbls butter and pour over the top.  Bake in a 375 oven until the bread is cooked throughout.  I ended up baking the bread for 1.5 hours. Longer than a normal loaf.  So good! You are Welcome!  hahaha

So now on to the real test, because it is impossible to not LOVE Bountiful Beer Bread in any variety!

Here are the ingredients for the soup.

*** Note, I am not product placing here.  The only product I am intentionally endorsing are the Tastefully Simple products in the center!  You can use what ever brand of instant rice, tomato paste, frozen- mixed veggies and water that you want!***

OK this soup was so simple! AND you only use ONE POT!!!!!!!!  My dishwasher will be so lonesome!

The prep time for this meal is right at an hour.  Most of that time is spent waiting for the soup flavors to blend and become spectacular!  In my case, I spent it putting together the Bountiful Beer Bread and watching "Felicity" on Netflix!  If you had kids, you could spend this time playing with them or reading to them or bathing them- whatever you want to do, because this meal basically makes itself!

This meal was an overall hit with my entire family here!  Mom liked it because it didn't have any 'heat' and Nick liked it because he loves a good beefy soup!  I loved it because it was simple, delicious and full of deep flavors!

Isn't that amazing looking!  The only thing I would have changed is maybe I would have used bigger vegetables, of a can of corn, a can of green beans, some cut carrots, and frozen peas.  I like bigger veggies, but that is an easy and doable fix!

So that's it!  Tonight's meal was great!  But I am sooo looking forward to the next meal- Mama Mia Chicken Fingers!  Since there is a Baylor Lady Bears are playing tomorrow and I have a Success Event on Thursday,  my next blog may  not be until Friday, but when It comes I will be making Mama Mia Chicken Fingers and i CAN'T wait!
