Soups just go together for me no matter WHAT I throw into the pot. At least that’s what my husband said today, as he devoured 2 bowls of this tasty soup creation at lunch today. This goes together in no time at all. Leave the quinoa out of this recipe if you are still on Atkins Induction Phase. This recipe is suitable for all other phases of Atkins and many other Keto diets.

INGREDIENTS:
½ lb. ground beef (mine was 90% lean)
1 T. beef suet (I used rib-eye fat), chopped fine (only needed if meat is VERY lean)
2 c. homemade beef broth
1 c. tap water
10-oz. zucchini, diced ½”
2 can’s diced tomatoes
Dash each onion powder, garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper and chili powder
1 chipotle chile pepper in adobo sauce (canned), seeded, rinsed, mashed fine
1 T. quinoa (omit for Atkins Induction phase)
DIRECTIONS: Brown meat in the bottom of a 4-qt. saucepan with the chopped suet (if using). I prefer to not drain off any of the grease. Add all remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Then lower heat to just simmer uncovered for about 15-20 minutes, or just until zucchini is tender. Serve at once. Leftovers should freeze nicely.
