HEARTY HOMEMADE VEGETABLE BEEF SOUP

Hearty Homemade Vegetable Beef Soup image

This is the way my mom made vegetable soup. I have always loved it and make it every fall, at the end of the growing season, just like mom. My mother and grandmother would sit at the kitchen table, cutting and chopping the vegetables, for this wonderful soup. I loved coming home from school on a cold winter day, to this soup...

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out great. I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker and let it cook all day. It was so easy and the soup was so flavorful.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have a bunch of random vegetables in my fridge that I don't know what to do with, so this soup is a great way to use them up.
