Puerto Rican Style Beef and 

Veggie Soup!

Sofrito Lovers,

Last night, I decided to create my own recipe and it turned out amazing!  I wanted to make a nice hearty soup with tons of veggies (my bears needs to eat more veggies) and a nice cut of meat.  I used a nice packet of stew beef and crafted a delicious Puerto Rican Style Beef, Veggie, and noodle soup recipe. 

It was fun and easy!  I combined some cooking techniques, ingredients, and decided to explore!  David loved the soup, he said it was delicious!  I loved it as well!

I'm proud to share this recipe with you!  Read it, cook, and taste for yourself ¡Buen Provecho!
