• Granulated Garlic powder
• Onion powder
• Goya Adobo seasoning (spice mix not the chilies paste)
• Accent (or MSG) - optional
• Salt
• Ground peppercorn blend
• Cayenne
• Paprika

• Cut beef into small cubes.
• Coat with EVOO
• Sprinkle with spices and toss well.
• Heat heavy bottom pot (or pressure cooker).
• Brown beef.

• 1 large tomato (≈ 410 grams)

• 1 cup Burgundy Wine
• 2 tsp Beef Bouillon

• Add to pot and bring to boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer till beef, barley, lentils and split peas are tender.

(Alternate Method: Pressure cooker - 30 minutes. Release pressure and continue with recipe.
I cooked up to here in the pressure cooker and the rest after this (below) I just simmered. I didn't want to make the veggies and pasta to mushy.)

• 1/2 cup Tiny bowtie pasta (or your favorite shape) (≈ 62 grams)

• Clean, peel and chop celery and carrots; medium dice.
• Add carrots, celery, pasta and beans to pot.
• Bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer till pasta and veggies are tender.

• Ground peppercorns
• Gravy Master

Msmofet - this looks really good. I like the addition of lentils and split peas. I'm a soup girl and make them all year round.

Sounds and looks really good MsM. I'm always looking for soup ideas. Just curious, how did you get those big dots in the recipe?

Thank you ladies!!

My recipe has bullets next to the ingredients and numbers next to the steps. When I pasted it in here only the bullets showed up and now I can't edit them out.

BUT to answer your question, when you open a post reply window you can create 2 types of lists:

1. add an Ordered List with numbers like this by clicking the icon in the bottom row 7 in from the left.

or you can

• use an Unordered List with bullets like this by clicking the icon in the bottom row 8 in from the left.
