HOMEMADE VEGETABLE BEEF SOUP
My mom made this soup when I was young. I have always loved her soups. When I was able to start cooking by myself I fell in love and have added and taken items away, but my fiance love my soups. And he isn't even big on soups. I hope your family enjoys the soup as much as mine does.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: For this recipe, chuck roast, short ribs, or brisket are all good choices. These cuts are tough, but they become tender when cooked slowly in liquid.
- Brown the beef before adding it to the soup: This step helps to develop flavor and color. You can brown the beef in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it is browned on all sides.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes, but you can also add other vegetables that you like, such as green beans, peas, or corn.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, beef broth, or vegetable broth.
- Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is finished cooking, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
Conclusion:
This beef and vegetable soup is a hearty and flavorful meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover beef. Serve it with a side of crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal.
