Costa Rican Beef And Vegetable Soup With Yellow Rice

We change because we have seen a superior beauty and worth and excellence. If you look into the face of Christ and then look into Sports Illustrated or Glamour and are not moved by the superior beauty and worth and excellence and desirability of Christ, then you are still hard and blind and futile in your thinking. You need to cry out, “Open my eyes to see wonderful things out of your Word!” And your life will show it. Where your treasure is – your desire, your delight, your beauty – there will your heart be also – and your evenings and your Saturdays and your money. We are changed by seeing the glory of God in the Word of God.

INSTRUCTIONS

THE SOUP Arrange beef cubes slightly apart in a single layer in a
shallow baking pan. Bake in a 500 oven until well browned (about 20
minutes). Meanwhile, in a 3 1/2 quart or larger crockpot, combine
onion, celery, garlic, bay leaf and bell pepper. Transfer browned  beef
to crockpot. Pour a little of the water into baking pan,  stirring to
dissolve drippings and pour into crockpot. Add broth and  remaining
water. Cover and cook on low about 8 hours. About 15  minutes before
beef is done, prepare Yellow Rice. While rice is  cooking, increase
cooker setting to high; add corn. Cover; cook for 5  minutes. Add
cabbage; cover and cook until cabbage is bright green, 8  to 10 more
minutes. Stir in cilantro; season with salt and pepper.  Ladle soup
into wide, shallow bowls; add a scoop of rice to each. THE  RICE 1
tablespoon salad oil 1 small onion, finely chopped 1 cup  long-grain
white rice 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric 1 3/4 cups water  Heat oil in
2-quart pan over medium heat. Add the onion; cook,  stirring until
onion is soft but not browned, (3 to 5 minutes). Stir  in the rice and
tumeric; cook, stirring occasionally, for about 1  minute. Pour in the
water and reduce heat to low and cook until rice  is tender, about 20
minutes.  From the Sunset Crockery Cookbook.  Recipe By     :  From:
