Tomato Beef Soup

I am slowly convincing my mother to jump on the paleo bandwagon. She suffers from type 2 diabetes, and I think she would benefit from it tremendously. Since she occasionally prepares food for the family to eat, she's is trying really hard to accommodate my new dietary needs.

So she made soup. We bought a roast and cubed it. We browned it in the pot with some olive oil and onions, then we added in celery, carrots, parsley and stewed tomatoes (look for ones that have an ingredient list consisting only of tomatoes.) And then you let it cook on the stove or in slow-cooker till the veggies/meat reach desired tenderness.

It's a very filling soup good for any day of the year. It has a fresh feeling due to the veggies, but it's still hearty because of the beef. It is the ideal soup.

Chow down.
