Gluten Free Beef Soup

Hi there, soup is one of the foods I enjoy and which helped me to lose weight. In Guyana, we used to make soup at least once a week, mostly on a Saturday. In my household, my mom made a huge pot of plantain soup. She made it with beef and sliced green plantains, lots of chopped onions and little dumplings were added when the soup was almost finished. I remembered enjoying this soup as a child with my brothers and sisters. If there were leftovers, we had it for dinner. My mom had a weekly menu which she strictly followed, so each day we knew what we were going to eat, for example, on Monday it was split pea soup or dholl with roti in the morning, dholl, rice and some other kind of  side dish  such as fried fish and some kind of choka (mashed potato or eggplant choka) you get the picture.

This is one of the  soup she used to make when we were sick, but she made it with barley and added dumplings too. I left out the dumplings and barley because I wanted to make GF. I thought I should share it since it is so yummy and good.
