PASTA BEEF SOUP



Pasta Beef Soup image

Convenient canned goods, tomato juice and a frozen pasta-vegetable medley make it flavorful and fast. But it's also flexible because you can use other ingredients, such as a different frozen pasta-vegetable blend. On occasion, I stir in shredded zucchini or yellow squash, too.-Brenda Jackson, Garden City, Kansas

BASIC PASTA BEEF OR CHICKEN SOUP



Basic Pasta Beef or Chicken Soup image

I read a similar recipe to this on Cooks.com. When I would watch my 2 DGDs after school, in the winter, they would want something warm. I experimented a little and came up with this recipe they seem to like. I got to be looking forward to a steaming bowl of this soup with a handful of croutons floating in it,too. I used this soup to test various croutons too. A real quick, simple meal. Any of these ingredients may be omitted or others added. I am still experimenting, too. I started using small soup mugs for the children when I discovered their smaller hands could control the mug, because of the handle,better, plus they think it is cool.

  • Take beef and chicken bones out together with the meat. Cut the meat into small pieces and return to pan.
  • Serve with bread.
