Old Fashioned Vegetable Beef Soup image

This stovetop or crockpot old fashioned vegetable beef soup would make your grandma proud. Easy to make recipe using stew meat or ground beef, mixed vegetables and potatoes in a tomato-beef broth.

Provided by Angela G.

Categories     Dinner     Lunch

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lbs cubed stew meat (or 2lb pot roast)
1 small onion (diced)
2 tbsp butter
2 cups mixed vegetables ((corn, carrots, green beans and peas))
3 potatoes (diced)
3 1/2 cups beef broth
1 beef bullion cube
14 oz petite diced tomatoes
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 bay leaves
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat butter in a dutch oven or large pot over high heat. Add stew meat and sear so that outside edges are brown, turning over as needed to brown all sides of the meat. Add diced onion to saute while searing the beef. Continually stir onions to prevent sticking. Cook for about 3 minutes total.*If finishing in a slow cooker, transfer both onions and beef to your crockpot set on low once fully seared.
  • Add mixed vegetables, cubed potatoes (I leave the skin on like my grandma did for extra vitamins and flavor but you can peel them if you prefer), diced tomatoes, beef broth, beef bullion, Worcestershire sauce, and bay leaves.
  • Bring to a boil then reduce heat to a low boil. Cook for 20 minutes or until potatoes are soft all the way through. Add salt and pepper to taste before serving.*If using a crockpot, cook for 1 hour on high (or 2 hours on low). Check potatoes to be sure they are fully cooked through, then serve.

OLD-FASHIONED VEGETABLE BEEF SOUP



Old-Fashioned Vegetable Beef Soup image

Better than Campbell's but just as comforting! Loosely based on a gourmet cooking magazine's recipe for Beef Barley soup, I didn't have any barley or okra, so I added root veggies to make it more hearty, like a rich broth with the chunkyness of stew. It turned out to be the best soup I've ever made! DH, stepson and baby girl kept coming back for more.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and green beans.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. A few well-chosen herbs and spices can really elevate the flavor of your soup. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, and black pepper.
  • Simmer your soup for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. If you're short on time, you can cook the soup on high heat for 15-20 minutes, but the flavor won't be as good.
  • Serve your soup with a side of bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the broth and make the meal more satisfying.

Conclusion:

Old-school vegetable beef soup is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try.
