OLD-FASHIONED VEGETABLE BEEF SOUP
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.

- Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. Some good choices include thyme, rosemary, oregano, basil, garlic, and pepper. You can also add a splash of wine or vinegar to brighten up the flavor.
