PARADISE IN A BOWL Recipe

Brown ground beef in Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onions, carrots, celery, and minced garlic; cook 10-12 minutes until veggies are softened. Add chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, and pepper; bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 15 minutes. Meanwhile, melt butter or oleo in small saucepan; stir in flour. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring until deep brown. Whisk into soup; cover and simmer 15 minutes or more. Garnish with freshly ground Parmesan cheese when serving. Great with a thick bread.
