Creating a recipe blogger style... Canton Beef and vegetable soup.

I just tried a little experimental cooking (and blogging) and it came out so good I'll be using it for the recipe carnival next week!
Ingredients:
  • Olive Oil
  • Lean ground beef (96%)
  • Salt & Pepper
  • Fresh Garlic***
  • Frozen Vegetables*
  • Red Wine
  • Water
  • Onion soup mix
  • Whole-wheat pasta
  • SoySauce**
  1. In a hot sauce pan with a little olive oil
  2. I browned a little ground beef with salt and pepper [and garlic]***
  3. I followed by adding some frozen vegetables to saute a little
  4. Then I added a little red wine to deglaze
  5. Next I added water and brought to a boil
  6. Followed by onion soup mix (enough for the water based on the soup mix instructions)
  7. Next I broke up and added some whole wheat pasta (I don't like it as pasta but it works well in soups)
  8. Simmer until the pasta is done [add Soy Sauce to taste]**
I'll let you know how it came out.****


Update:
*I'm debating a little soy sauce since I used a Cantonese mix for the vegetables.
**I decided to go with the soy, it adds a nice taste and depth to the soup.
***I've decided fresh garlic sauted with the beef would add a nice touch to the reipe.
****It tasts great to me, and it really feels good on my sore throat! Keep in mind I have the flu, but I think this is a winner. There you have it, a recipe created realtime as I made if for the very first time...

Serve with crackers and enjoy! (Might make a good title for a cooking blog, what do you think?)
