My husband has been craving the taste of beef. I ran across this broth recipe in a favorite Italian cookbook and made it this week. Its quick, easy and a little different tasting than canned soups. I know it does'nt have alot of calories, but does offer a change of pace.
Crazy Broth
4 cups water
3 ribs celery with leaves roughly chopped
4 bullion cubes[chicken or beef]no msg if possible
1 carrot chopped
1 onion quartered
salt[optional]
Simmer together 20 or 30 min. I strained the veggies and mushed the carrots and onions thru a sieve for extra flavor. I also added a 1\2 cup of Quaker quick cook barley[John loves it]and cooked for an additional 15 min. This broth is good without any additions for a total liquid diet. Amy
