Servings: persons

1 pound lean ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 large green pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large tomato, chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup uncooked rice
2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley, plus more for garnish
4 cups beef broth
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper

1
In a large pot or Dutch oven heat oil over medium heat. Add flour and whisk until a thick paste forms (roux). Whisk constantly for 3-4 minutes while it bubbles; as it cooks, it will begin to thin. Add chopped onions and saute, continually stirring, for 3-4 minutes longer (the kitchen smells so good when onions hit the roux).
2
Stir in the tomato paste and add ground beef. Use a wooden spoon to break up the ground beef for 5 minutes as it is cooking. Add garlic, chopped tomato and peppers and mix until combined.
3
Add broth and bring just to a light boil. Lower the heat, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally for 30 minutes. Add rice and parsley and cook for 15 more minutes, stirring occasionally, or until rice is cooked.
4
This is a fairly thick soup, but if you find yours is too thick just add water until desired consistency.
5
To serve, garnish with parsley. Serve with crusty bread or the way I like it the best - with boiled whole potatoes.
