Beef and vegetable soup/stew with rice and Scotch Bonnets

So I overcooked my beef roast the other day, which kind of sucked.  I got kind of pissed and just poured a beer over it and put in a couple of teaspoons of beef stock concentrate and kept cooking it.  The next day I added more water and a bag of mirepoix.  It was pretty darned tasty.  Today I added two diced Scotch Bonnets and a cup of rice to the mix.  It's hot but it's pretty friggin good.  Sometimes the simplest things can salvage a potentially lost meal.

My soup is gross.

I don't know what I did to this soup but it's pretty gross.  I don't know how it turned out so funky but even hot sauce can't save it.  Bleh.

It's always kind of a bummer when food comes out so disappointing but then I guess not everything can be a winner.  Maybe soup just isn't in the cards for me - like baking.
