Hello 馃
Hope you had a great Christmas celebration?! I didn't bake nor cook as I had been sick, right, no power, so we didn't host Christmas dinner for our only family in town, which is my brother in law 馃榿 He came, dropped presents for the boys, and that was it. I felt bad, for not cooking nothing, however, this morning my husband had to fly to US anyways, so yep, we definitely didn't prepare nothing for Christmas this year 馃榿
I shoveled snow twice today, ouch, my wrists. Within an H my oldest and I cleaned the driveway, heavy snow fell again. It looked as if we didn't shovel nothing. Meh 馃槄
I prepared beef and cabbage soup today, pretty tasty for this cold Winter, and since it was prepared in the instant pot, no hassle at all.
1/2 head of a cabbage, sliced
1/2 of a large fat carrots, sliced
1.5 kg beef
1 medium onion, sliced
6 garlic, sliced
1 heaping tsp oregano
1 heaping tsp smoked paprika powder
1 heaping tsp basil
1 heaping tsp table blend, such as Mrs. Dash
4 heaping tbsp chicken bouillon powder
1 tbsp celery salt
1-2 tbsp crushed chives
Pat dry the beef, trim fat, cubed
Brown the beef cubes, by clicking the saute option. Once browned, stir on onion and garlic, cook til softened.
Stir in paprika powder, followed with oregano and basil.
Add in veggies, pour in water until the max line of the instant pot.
Add in flavoring and chives, stir
Turn off saute, click on stew (but yes it is for soup, and yes there is an option for soup, but stew option is what you want to use), it will show 1 H, add another 10 mins.
Voila 馃槉
