Vegetable Stew/Mock Steak Soup

40 grams diced carrots
10 grams diced onion
20 grams frozen green beans
160 grams canned diced tomatoes
dash of pepper
46 grams rough chopped fresh mushrooms
2 TB corn starch
2 TB butter/margarine
1 can Swanson Vegetable broth
Melt butter in saucepan. Stir in cornstarch until smooth. Cook and stir over medium heat 1 minute. Add can of broth all at once. Cook and stir until bubbly. Add carrots, onion, green beans and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer covered for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a skillet in a small amount of olive oil, "brown" mushrooms. I just cooked them a little, not real soft. (I cooked mine in the oil/steak fat from the pan I browned the steak for my families soup.) Add mushrooms and tomatoes to soup mixture. Cover and simmer for 5-10 minutes. Mine seemed a little thick, so I added a small amount of water, maybe a 1/4 cup.
I ended up with 3 servings, 3/4 cup each. Total phe, about 100. Each serving was 33 phe.
