1/2 tsp salt and pepper
1 onion (, chopped)
3 garlic (, minced (1 tbsp))
2 celery (, cut into 0.8 cm / 1/3" slices)
3 carrots (, cut into 0.5 cm / 1/5" thick slices (halve larger ones))
4 tbsp flour
2 1/2 cups (625ml) beef broth/stock (, low sodium)

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tbsp oil until very hot in a large, heavy based pot over high heat.

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.

VEGETABLE BEEF SOUP - BASIC RECIPE



Vegetable Beef Soup - Basic Recipe image

My mother never made soup from scratch so I never learned how. After trying a number of soup recipes from Zaar, I came up with this recipe as a guideline for a basic veggie beef soup. I often throw in whatever veggies I have around so the soup is never exactly the same two times running; however, soup-making isn't an exact science as is baking. I'm posting the recipe so that I can give it out easily; evidently, folks seem to really like it!

Provided by Impera_Magna

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h5m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb ground round
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped carrot
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 cups tomato juice or 3 cups v 8 vegetable juice
2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans condensed beef broth
2 1/2 cups water
1 (15 ounce) can cut green beans, drained
3 cups vegetables, of choice (yellow corn, shoe-peg corn, lima or butter beans, green peas, large potato, peeled and diced, whatev)
1 1/2 tablespoons parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Brown meat in large pot along w/ onions, celery, and carrots.
  • Add remaining ingredients, bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat, cover and simmer 30-45 mins til veggies and barley are done.
  • Note #1: I've been adding ½ cup pearl barley to the soup, which will be done in the amount of simmering time. Quick barley takes only 10 minutes to cook so you could add later.
  • Note #2: I've found that adding pasta, while good at first, it continues to absorb the soup liquid and get really big and the soup becomes more like a stew. If you'd like noodles, I would cook them separately and add them to the bowl just before ladling in the soup.
  • Note #3: You could also add rice, if you would like.

  • Brown the beef before adding it to the soup: This will help to develop the flavor of the beef and prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will give your soup more flavor and nutrition. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and green beans.
  • Add some herbs and spices: This will help to enhance the flavor of the soup. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, garlic, and pepper.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 1 hour: This will allow the flavors to meld and the beef to become tender.
  • Serve the soup with a side of bread or crackers: This will help to make a complete meal.

Conclusion:

Vegetable beef soup is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious vegetable beef soup that your family and friends will love.
