Evangeline Parish Corn & Beef Soup image

An uncomplicated, well-seasoned Cajun-style soup. This makes a nice, satisfying weeknight supper, and can be made a little more substantial by adding some cooked rice. Remember to remove the bay leaf before serving!

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 medium onion, chopped
3 1/2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 lb ground beef (I use sirloin because it's less fatty)
2 cups beef broth or 2 cups vegetable broth
2 cups water
1 (15 ounce) can no-salt-added corn, with liquid
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 small green bell pepper, chopped

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, combine broth, water, corn, oregano, bay leaf, thyme, tomato paste, salt, cayenne pepper and green bell pepper.
  • Bring mixture to a boil, then simmer on low heat for about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine olive oil, onion, and garlic; saute on low heat for 10 minutes or until onion is transparent and garlic is golden but not brown.
  • Add the ground beef and cook with onion-garlic mixture on medium heat until beef is well-browned, stirring frequently.
  • Add beef-onion mixture to broth-water mixture.
  • Simmer on low for another 20 minutes.
  • Taste for saltiness; add a little more water if necessary.
  • Leftover soup thickens slightly overnight (and tastes great the next day).
  • Thin with a little more water if you wish.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover corned beef. It's also a great freezer meal.

I'm not a fan of cabbage, but I love this soup. The cabbage is cooked perfectly and it doesn't overpower the other flavors.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out watery. I think I added too much water. I'll have to try it again.

This soup is a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, and a dash of cayenne pepper. It was much better after that.

I added some chopped carrots and celery to my soup. It gave it a nice crunch and added some extra flavor.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover corned beef. It's also a great meal to make ahead of time. It reheats well and is even better the next day.

This soup is so easy to make. I just threw all the ingredients in my slow cooker and let it cook all day. It was ready when I got home from work.
