It’s a Friday in Lent … why is there a recipe for beef? Today is the Solemnity of the Annunciation, and even during Lent, the celebration of Our Lord’s incarnation—his taking flesh—is an occasion for celebration that calls for … flesh. Yes, it’s a Meat Friday, so cozy up with a nice warm bowl of soup and celebrate the bounty of Our Lord. You can change the amount of ingredients to suit your personal taste as well as add any other vegetable you like. This one has no onions or garlic due to a dietary issue in my family, but feel free to add them if you wish.   ![Vegetable beef soup](https://www.catholicmom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/20220325%20KUllo%20Vegetable%20beef%20soup.jpg?width=1080&name=20220325%20KUllo%20Vegetable%20beef%20soup.jpg) #### Vegetable Beef Soup 1 lb. stew meat (chopped beef) 6 chopped potatoes 4 carrots, peeled and chopped 1/2 lb. fresh green beans, chopped 1 can diced stewed tomatoes 1.5 quarts beef broth 1-2 tsp.
