Dude, seriously, look! This recipe is so easy!!!!!
Anyone can make it!! Promise!!


We start by cooking the beef, onions and celery...
​cook this on high heat,
don't turn the mixture over too often,
​let that beef sear on the bottom and sides of the pan.

Stir in the beef broth, the tomatoes, sauces
​and mixed vegetables...


Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover and reduce to simmer for 20 minutes.
*Angie's note: I simmered for 40 minutes, cause I'm a rebel.
No I'm not, I just forgot how long it was on the stove. SHUT UP!


Next step is to whisk that flour into the beef broth.


​And then mix that floured broth into the soup and let it simmer for 10-20 minutes and let it thicken a bit.


Okay, let me tell you what I love about this soup:
1. Tim says this is a lumberjack soup. He ate two and a half bowls. He said he even liked the peas in it.
2. I say the flavor reminds me of soup from when I was a kid, a soup that had hamburger in it and a tomato base. 
3. This is a hearty, Iowa Fall soup.
4. The frozen mixed vegetables add a nice element.
5. The steak sauce and Worcestershire sauce bring on a nice tangy zing.
