Description

An amazingly simple and fast soup for those times when there isn't a lot of time! Browned ground beef with sesame seeds in a consomme broth garnished with bean sprouts, green onions, red bell pepper, and mushrooms. Great with egg rolls on the side for a complete meal.

Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans beef consomme
2 cups water
2 cups fresh bean sprouts
1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
4 green onions, diced

Directions

1 In a large skillet, brown ground beef over medium high heat, stirring frequently. Add sesame seeds, consomme, and water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes.
2 Add bean sprouts and green onions (and red pepper and mushrooms, if using). Cook another 3 minutes. Serve hot.
