Vegetable Soup (Stove top)

Vegetable Soup ingredients and instructions
I made this on 01/23/2020. This is very adaptable.
6 clove garlic chopped
1 white onion chopped
4 carrots peeled and chopped
3 stalks celery chopped
1 red bell pepper chopped
A little bit of green pepper I already had sliced
A cup of cabbage shredded. I had red on hand
3 small potatoes peeled and chopped which was all I had on hand
1 sweet potato peeled and chopped
1 tomato
6 ounces tomato paste
1/4 cup salsa
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon pepper
8 ounces mushrooms sliced
3 4 cup boxes of veggie broth plus more (or water) if needed
**Note - wish I had had a can of tomatoes. I love Rotel but the hubby does not.

I sauted onion and garlic in cooking spray in the soup pot. Add veggie broth. Scrape bottom if needed. Add all ingredients and seasonings. Cook half hour to an hour depending on desired doneness of veggies. Season to taste.

Beef Brisket (Oven)

Beef Brisket ingredients and instructions
1 Beef Brisket. I buy one already cut to fit the size of my 5 quart oven safe pot w/lid
2 packets of Lipton Onion soup mix
2 cans Campbell's Mushroom soup
Water. I use approximately 1 can of water for each can of soup (not quite full cans of water), up to about half way up the roast
**Note - If you are like me and want extra gravy, use 3 packets of soup, 3 cans of soup, and 3 cans of water.

I put the roast in the pot fat side up. Then empty both kids of soup fairly evenly on top of the roast, using a spoon to smooth some over the sides. Add the water around the roast. Then cover and place the roast in the over with the temperature set to 300 and bake for approximately 3 hours or until the roast is brown and shreds easily. Then remove roast to an appropriate size plate or baking dish to shred and serve.

There is nothing to do for the gravy except stir to combine and add additional water to bring to desired consistency and to lessen any saltiness.

Then serve with mashed potatoes and favorite veggie. Mine is corn. This recipe is so great and delicious and SO easy.
