Chunky beef and vegetable soup
(winter food, tastes even better when reheated the next day, freeze in batches, be prepared)
Place 1kg of diced beef and a large peeled onion in a large pot of boiling salted water, about 2 - 3 litres and simmer for 2 hours. Remove onion. Remove the meat, cut into smaller cubes and put back into the pot.
Add 1 leek cut into slices, 200g diced swede, 150g celery diced, 200g green beans, cut or sliced.
Add 300g frozen peas and carrots mix, simmer until all vegetables are cooked, it took roughly an hour when I cooked it.
Season with salt, pepper and marjoram and bouillon powder. Finally dice some cold butter, the blog author used a full pack of 250g, but I added about half that amount.
This amount would give you 18 bowls, 7.4g carbs per serving.

Creamy pepper soup
Attention, red and yellow peppers are quite high in carbs! So this soup wont be suitable if you are extremely low carbing.
For 4 servings: Cut 700g Peppers (here: red and yellow, use economy packs) into pieces. Fry in plenty of butter. Add 250ml stock and simmer until peppers are cooked, stir in 300g of cream, then puree with a stick blender or blender. season with salt, pepper, paprika, chili powder and herbs de Provence.
Per serving: Carbohydrate: 12.6 g
