Makes: 6 Servings

Canned pumpkin tastes good and is easy to use. The blend of ingredients in this soup gives it a hint of sweetness.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups water
  • 1/4 pound beef round roast, thawed, sliced thinly

  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or 2 tablespoons brown sugar)

  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/4 cup onions, diced

Directions

  1. In a medium-sized pot, bring water to a boil.
  2. Add beef roast to boiling water. Boil for 5 to 10 minutes.
  3. Add pumpkin, maple syrup, and pepper to pot. If using cinnamon, add that too. Mix well.
  4. Lower heat and cook for about 10 minutes.
  5. Put 2 teaspoons of onion on top of each bowl of soup. Serve hot.
