Today was a snow day and I had to figure out what to feed 7 people for lunch. I looked around my kitchen and remembered that I had 2/3 roast that I had frozen for a Vegetable Beef Stew so that is what I made.
I made my soup with 8 mini potatoes that I cut in 4th's, added 10 baby carrots cut in 1/2, the green beans that I had left over from last night (approx 1 bag), 1 clove of garlic minced
and then added the 2/3 of the roast that was previously frozen.
I then added 1 large can of Tomato Juice and 1 can of Water.
I put this on med-low heat for 40 min stirring occasionally.
When the potatoes and carrots were tender I mixed up my dumplings. (3 eggs and about 2 cups flour and mixed until well blended (not runny but not crumbly).
I added the dumplings to my soup by dropping them directly into the pot. I then raised the temp to high for about 5 min until the dumplings were done.
After this I served this in heaping bowls with salt and pepper to taste.
When we all were done eating (7 servings) I still had a TON left for leftovers later.
