Autumn Vegetable Soup

Description

The soup is simple and quick to prepare. Melt the butter in a large pot, add the meat, stir briefly in the hot butter, and remove from the pot. Add all the prepared vegetables to the pot with the butter and stir over low heat until coated with oil. Return the meat to the pot. Dissolve the broth cubes in water and pour the broth over the meat and vegetables. Add salt and pepper, and simmer gently for 1 1/2 hours. Bring to a boil and add spices. You can easily make a vegetarian version of this soup—just omit the steak and use vegetable bouillon cubes instead of beef. Ladle into bowls and serve.
