Leftover Roast Beef Soup
My husband is a real meat and potatoes kind of guy. I'm pretty sure that if I fed him meat with a side of meat, he would be completely okay with it! Needless to say we have a lot of roast beef meals in our house. I try to make one up as often as possible, but being as how there are only two of us, we tend to eat for 2-3 days and it can get a bit boring. I'm not really a huge fan of leftovers, so whenever I can I try to repurpose the meal so that it doesn't have a "leftovers" feel to it.
When I was little, my Dad always made hot roast beef sandwiches for us the day after Mom cooked up a roast. He would take the leftover roast beef, slice it nice and thin, then fry it up in the leftover gravy and serve it over warm buttered toast. I remember looking forward to the leftovers more than the roast beef itself. While I still enjoy eating my leftovers this way once in awhile, I've been trying to eat a bit healthier lately so soup has been a good choice.
This soup can be made with whatever leftovers you have on hand. I like to think of it as a cross between french onion soup, leftover roast beef, and whatever else I have in my fridge. If you had roasted veggies or mashed potatoes with your roast, go ahead and throw that into the broth as well. As a general rule I like to make sure that I only have 1 type of starch (potatoes, noodles, rice, quinoa), but I will literally throw whatever veggies I have on hand into this - I hardly ever make this soup the same way twice!
Ingredients
- 2 tsp butter or olive oil
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 medium zucchini, diced
- 2-3 slices of leftover roast beef, diced
- 1 L beef broth
- 1 tsp worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/2 cup noodles of choice
Directions
Preheat a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add butter or olive oil and sauté onion for 2-3 minutes until lightly translucent.
Add zucchini, and lightly sauté for 1-2 minutes.
Add leftover roast beef, beef broth, worcestershire sauce and pepper and turn heat to high.
Once boiling, reduce heat back to medium and add noodles. Continue to cook for 5-7 minutes, or until noodles are completely cooked.
Enjoy
Looks like nice soup - any veggies EXCEPT CELERY!!! Of course I would NOT expect to find that in your fridge anyhow as it would contaminate the whole fridge! LOL GG
