One of the best points of adopting a green lifestyle is to slow down and enjoy life. Even with the fast pace of our modern world, you can achieve this. We should get back to a lifestyle that prevents disease before we need to treat it. Too many people have the attitude of ruining the body today, and mend it with a pill the next day. It isn’t possible to turn around without being bombarded by ads about the latest pill to cure you of your health problems. Yes, you may get better by taking a pill but not if you hold on to the same old bad habits. Unlike the car buying process, you can’t trade in your exhausted body for a new one. You must look after yourself while you can. Proper nutrition is essential for your body to run at best levels.

Instructions to make Southwest beef 'n' bean soup:
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- When oil is hot (surface looks shimmery), add onion, celery, and carrots. Season with salt. Some liquid will cook out of the celery; this is normal. Cook vegetables, stirring occasionally with a spatula, until the onion begins to turn translucent and the liquid has cooked off.
- Add the garlic and continue cooking until the garlic begins to brown. Remove skillet from heat. Transfer vegetables to a large soup pot.
- Break up ground beef into skillet. Season with salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Return to heat.
- Scramble ground beef over medium high heat until browned.
- Transfer ground beef to a large plate or bowl lined with paper towels to remove excess grease. Pat top with a paper towel. Then transfer ground beef to soup pot with onion mixture.
- Add both cans of beans (drained), tomatoes (undrained), potatoes, and frozen vegetables to soup pot.
- Add beef stock to soup pot. (You can also substitute water and beef bullion for stock. Use 1 cube bullion per quart of water.) Add bay leaves and Worcestershire sauce.
- Bring soup to a boil over high heat, then turn heat down so that soup simmers but doesn't boil.
- While soup is simmering, add chili powder and cumin. Adjust seasoning (salt, chili powder, cumin, etc.) to taste. You might need more salt than you think because the potatoes absorb quite a bit while they cook.
- Let the soup simmer until the potatoes are tender and just starting to break down. (You can tell they are breaking down when the edges start to look rounded-off instead of sharp.) If you need to add water while the soup cooks, heat water to boiling in the microwave first and carefully add to the soup pot.
- Remove bay leaves before serving.
- If desired, crumble a handful of tortilla chips in the bottom of a soup bowl and ladel soup over them. Top with shredded cheese. Enjoy!
It is so lean it does not require any draining of fat. You can use any kind of Stewed tomatoes, I like the Rotel because of the extra spice and flavor. I decided to replace the barley with white beans since they usually add the same kind of creaminess to dishes similar to what barley tends to give this soup. In a skillet over medium heat, cook beef until no longer pink; drain. In a large pot, brown the ground beef; stir to crumble the ground beef; drain.
