Come home to hearty, healthy vegetable beef soup

January 10, 2016 By Michelle Rogers

 

Vegetable Beef Soup Recipe from MichelleRogers.fit

Is there anything better on a cold winter day than coming home to a piping hot bowl of delicious homemade soup?

Vegetable beef soup is one of my favorite things to make, especially on a weekend afternoon, when I’ll often do this while watching a game on TV. And one of the best parts is, a big pot of soup made on Sunday will give our busy family several meals for the week. Pair it with a biscuit or muffin, or a grilled sandwich, for a quick, nutritious weeknight dinner.

Directions:

  • Heat about 2 tablespoons of oil in a 6-8 quart pot, on high heat.
  • After oil is hot, brown beef on all sides. Remove from pot and set aside.
  • Do not drain pot. Add a little more oil if needed; then add onions, carrots and celery, and sautee until onion starts to brown. Remove from pot and set aside with the beef.
  • Add more oil if needed, and add cabbage to the pot. Sautee until limp. Add garlic, continuing to sautee for a few minutes.
  • Add the beef, onions, carrots and celery back to the pot.
  • Add the salt, pepper, thyme, basil, tomatoes, beef stock and frozen vegetables.
  • Add water, enough to cover all ingredients by 1″ to 1.5″.
  • Season to taste with more salt and pepper, if needed.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
  • After it’s done cooking, add parsley; stir.

Alternate methods: If using a pressure cooker, cook 40 minutes. If using a slow cooker, cook 6-8 hours.

Enjoy!
