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.

Grandma's Slow Cooker Beef and Vegetable Soup image

My grandma made this soup. She said it was something they made way back when, out of whatever they had available in their garden and shelves. It is a large dish (they were a family of 10), so have a big pot or slow cooker! I have halved it and honed it a little since most of us use a grocery now and don't have 8 kids.

GRANDMA LILLIAN'S VEGETABLE BEEF SOUP



Grandma Lillian's Vegetable Beef Soup image

I always loved my mother's vegetable beef soup and enjoy making it myself. The only change I've had to make is to use beef shank or stew meat in place of the soup bone that she always used. It still tastes the same!! Mom passed away in 2006. My niece and her husband recently had a baby girl that they named after Mom. I made a pot of this soup to take to them and printed out a copy of the recipe for them. I'm posting it here so as not to lose it and for anyone who would enjoy a hearty, filling soup.

GRANDMA G'S VEGETABLE BEEF SOUP



Grandma G's Vegetable Beef Soup image

Leave off the beef and you have a great vegetable soup! The vegetables I use are either fresh or I froze them during the harvest months. You will need a large stock pot (about 20 quart); if you don't have one large enough halve the recipe. I only make this soup once a year now. What I usually do is set aside the amount we will eat in a 2-quart sauce pan and add more water and the potatoes. I let the stock pot of soup cool and freeze the remainder in quart bags. It's great served with sandwiches, cornbread or crackers. I know all these vegetables may not be located around the world, but they are plentiful here in Southeast America in the summertime, at the markets. Some are available in frozen foods at large supermarkets. Finished amounts are an estimate.

GRANDMA'S VEGETABLE BEEF AND BARLEY SOUP



Grandma's Vegetable Beef and Barley Soup image

This is my mother in law's family recipe that came with her from South Africa, and one of my favorite soups! She grates the turnips, carrots and parsnips in the food processor and it makes for a great texture in the soup. For the turnips, be sure to use the small white and purple ones - not the big wax turnips! It's very mild in...

  • To make the soup more flavorful, use a variety of vegetables, such as carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and green beans. You can also add herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, garlic, and pepper.
  • If you don't have any egg noodles, you can use other types of pasta, such as macaroni or penne. You can also add rice or barley to the soup.
