Ingredients


454 gm Beef, ground, extra lean (500 g ground; (1.1 lb / 17.6 oz))
199 gm Sausage, chorizo, pork and beef (200 g; such as chorizo (7.1 oz) - I used Spanish chorizo but you can also use Mexican chorizo)
1 can(s) (14oz) Diced tomatoes, canned (large tin; unsweetened (400 g / 14.1 oz))
2 medium Tomato (medium fresh; (200 g / 7.1 oz) or more tinned)
1/4 cup Tomato puree, canned (unsweetened (62 g / 2.2 oz))
2 pepper(s) Green chili pepper (also chile or chilli) (small green; (30 g / 1.1 oz))
1 medium pepper(s) Red bell pepper (medium; (120 g / 4.2 oz))
1 medium White onion (medium; (110 g / 3.9 oz))
2 clove(s) Garlic
2 cup Green/yellow string beans, raw ((200 g / 7.1 oz))
1 tsp Tabasco sauce (or to taste)
1/4 cup Ghee
1 tsp Salt (or to taste)
1 tsp Black pepper (freshly ground to taste)
959 gm Water (litre; or bone broth (4 cups / 1 quart) or more if too thick)
1 tsp Cilantro (coriander) (Optional: fresh; or parsley)

Instructions


  1. Peel and dice the onion and garlic. Halve, deseed and slice the red pepper and green chili peppers.
  2. Grease a large soup pot or a Dutch oven with ghee. Once hot, add the diced onion and garlic and cook over a medium-high heat for a few minutes while stirring, until lightly browned. Add the sliced red pepper and green chili peppers. Cook for about 5 minutes and stir to prevent burning.
  3. Slice the chorizo sausage and roughly chop the tomatoes.
  4. Add the chorizo, ground beef into the pot and cook until browned from all sides.
  5. Add the chopped tomatoes, tinned tomatoes, tomato puree and Tabasco to taste.
  6. Pour in the water and season with salt and pepper. Wash and cut the green beans into thirds. Cook the soup until you see bubbles and add the chopped green beans.
  7. Cook for about 10 minutes or until the green beans are crisp-tender. Take off the heat. Serve hot and try with Keto Buns! Store refrigerated for up to 5 days or freeze for longer.

Notes:

When looking for ingredients, try to get them in their most natural form (organic, without unnecessary additives).
