This vegetable beef soup has become a favorite of ours this year. If you’re looking for a new healthy and hearty homemade soup to try, this is the recipe for you!
My husband first made a version of this vegetable beef soup earlier this year. Since then I’ve made it multiple times for us and to give to others.
This is the perfect hearty soup for a cold day (though we like it enough that we had it several times in the middle of our Texas summer!) It’s also a great way to easily get in lots of good veggies.
Need a good hearty meal to give to someone who could use some homemade goodness? This beef and veggie soup fits the bill!
Whether you’re making this soup for your own family or to share with others, it’s sure to be a hit.
Does this vegetable beef soup freeze well?
Yes!
Make a batch of this vegetable beef soup and freeze some for a quick and easy meal later on. I do this every time I make it. Yay for easy meals in the freezer!
What makes a good side for this soup?
A good crusty bread always makes a perfect side for soup. My family also loves when I make these SUPER easy muffins. (Seriously, they’re so simple to throw together!)
A salad also makes a great first course while you’re letting your vegetable beef soup cool a bit. 🙂
The exact ingredient amounts that I use for this beef and veggie soup often change a bit depending on what we have on hand, but I finally took the time to write down the basic recipe so that I can share it with you guys.
