Smile What's for dinner in January '09?

It's been about a year, but I'm hoping some cysters are interested in sharing their weekly dinner menus.

Tonight I'm making chicken soup with peas, corn, carrots and spring onions.

Another yummy soup we make is vegetable soup with chicken. Use white meat chicken, throw in some frozen mixed veggies and some tomato sauce. I like to dilute the tomato sauce with either water or a little of the chicken broth from boiling the chicken so it's not too rich. Add in a dash of hot sauce and it is so yummy.

1 lb top round steak or other very lean beef, cubed
1 onion, finely diced
3 garlic cloves, finely diced
1 tablespoon canola oil
3 cartons low-sodium, low fat beef broth
1 carton low-sodium, low fat chicken broth
5 carrots, peeled and sliced
2 celery stalks, sliced
1 bay leaf
1 heaping pinch of thyme
1/2 cup pearl barley
salt and pepper to taste

Pour all 4 cartons of broth in a big soup pot, and bring to a boil. Add barley and bayleaf, and reduce heat to simmer.

Meanwhile, add beef, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper to a large skillet on medium heat. Saute until beef is done and a rich brown color. Add contents of skillet to the big soup pot.

Add carrots, celery, and thyme to soup pot. Simmer for a least 30 minutes. It is very yummy as leftovers!

I buy the pre-cut ones in Walmart and either bake them or deep fry them in a light oil. Deep frying really tastes the best.
