Weight Loss Recipes : Beef and Broccoli Noodle Soup

(makes 4 servings)

Ingredients:2 chopped green onions


1 finely chopped garlic clove


2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce


1 tsp sesame oil


8 oz. lean beef, trimmed of excess fat


8 oz. egg noodles, cook according to package instructions


3¾ cups low-sodium beef broth


1 white part of leek, sliced or 1 cup chopped onion


5 chopped baby corns


2 cups broccoli florets


½ tsp chili powder


Preparation:Combine green onions, garlic, soy sauce and sesame oil in a medium bowl.


Slice beef into thin strips (Wrap beef in plastic wrap then place in a freezer for about ½ hour to partially freeze to make it easier to slice) then add to soy sauce mixture and stir until well-coated. Cover then marinate in refrigerator for about 45-60 minutes.


Pour beef broth in a large saucepan then bring to a boil. Add the beef with the marinade, leek, corns, and broccoli. Cover then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 10 minutes. Stir in noodles and chili powder, cover and simmer for an additional 3 minutes then serve.
