Beefy Sweet Potato Soup image

I hate being cold, but one of the best remedies for that is warm soup. I took my mother's water-based vegetable soup recipe and worked with it to make the flavors richer. The meat and veggies in this dish are the perfect cure for a cold night and a hungry family. -Lisa Cooper, Leander, Texas
