• 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 pound lean ground sirloin (acceptable in moderation)(ground turkey, chicken or 1 pound of plant-based protein may be used)
  • 1/3 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 package (32 ounces) low-sodium beef broth (or low-sodium vegetable broth, if preferred)
  • 1 bag (1 pound) frozen soup vegetables (without added salt)
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium Worcestershire sauce

Directions:

1. In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat and add onion. Cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef and cook, breaking up chunks with a spoon, until cooked through, about 5 minutes.

2. Place flour and 2/3 cup water in a jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake to blend well. Pour into saucepan with beef and add broth; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Add vegetables and simmer until cooked, about 10 minutes. Stir in Worcestershire sauce.
