MAMA'S HOMEMADE BEEF & VEGETABLE SOUP



Mama's Homemade Beef & Vegetable Soup image

One of the first times I made this it was for my in-laws. My MIL raved over it and asks for me to cook it almost every time she visits. It is an old, old recipe. My DH and I have been married 25 years this month and I have made it every winter. Even when we lived in Orlando and didn't really have winters I still made it in January or February. Everyone really likes it, except my son David. He is a real meat an potatoes kind of guy. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as we do. This is super easy, but a bit time consuming. I find it is worth the time because it makes a huge pot of soup and is so delicious that everyone (almost) likes it. Note that the prep time includes searing the stew meat, which I actually skip. My mother will not eat it unless it has been seared. The rest of the recipe is just adding ingredients. Simple and delicious.

Time 2h30m

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 -1 1/2 lb stew meat
2 (16 ounce) packages frozen mixed vegetables
1 onion, chopped
2 (14 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
2 teaspoons salt
1/2-1 teaspoon pepper
1 bay leaf
3 -4 beef bouillon cubes
1/2 teaspoon marjoram
1/2 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/3 cup ketchup

Steps:

  • When meat is seared, cover it in the same pot with water.
  • Add chopped onion and seasonings including boullion cubes.
  • Bring this to a boil. Lower heat to simmer for one and one half to two hours. This makes the meat fall apart tender.
  • Add frozen, mixed vegetables and bring back to a boil.
  • Note: I (Mama,too) add ketchup at this point to add flavor and thicken the broth just a bit. Add however much you feel like, however, She made a note on my recipe stating "ketchup very important for flavor".
  • Cook approximately 1 hour or until vegetables are done to your desire.

OLD-FASHIONED VEGETABLE BEEF SOUP



Old-Fashioned Vegetable Beef Soup image

Better than Campbell's but just as comforting! Loosely based on a gourmet cooking magazine's recipe for Beef Barley soup, I didn't have any barley or okra, so I added root veggies to make it more hearty, like a rich broth with the chunkyness of stew. It turned out to be the best soup I've ever made! DH, stepson and baby girl kept coming back for more.

Yummy Beefy Vegetable Soup image

This is fabulous for a cool fall evening or winter dinner. IT doesnt take long to make it, and it tastes wonderful. My kids love it and ask for it often. I often buy marked-down roast/steaks in order to make this, as I am not familiar with cuts of meat and I have yet to buy something that isnt tender when the soup is completed.

BEEFY VEGETABLE SOUP - DEE DEE'S



Beefy Vegetable Soup - Dee Dee's image

This is a hearty soup full of flavor, vegetables and beef. I love this soup in cool fall weather or a on a rainy day. It reminds me of my mother and the way she made her soup. My soup has fresh canned tomatoes, canned peas and fresh okra right out of my summer garden. This doesn't mean you can't make this soup if you don't...

Provided by Diane Atherton

Categories     Vegetable Soup

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lb beef sirloin steak, boneless (or leftover beef roast, stew meat or ground beef)
2 c water
1 medium onion, chopped
2 beef bouillon, cubes
1 tsp basil, dried
salt and pepper to taste
1 qt tomatoes, canned (or 6 to 8 fresh peeled and diced)
1 pt peas
1 can(s) (15. 25 ounce) whole kernel corn (or fresh or frozen)
1 can(s) (15.25 ounce) medium green lima beans (or fresh or frozen)
1 pt fresh okra, sliced
4 to 5 potatoes, medium, diced

Steps:

  • 1. Place steak in water, with chopped onion, salt & pepper, basil and beef bouillon. Bring to a boil, turn heat down and simmer until steak is tender. No, I haven't cut the meat up yet.
  • 2. Once meat is tender start adding your vegetable; tomatoes, peas, corn, lima beans, okra and potatoes. Turn heat up to a medium heat until it starts to boil, lower heat and simmer until vegetables (potatoes in this case) are tender.
  • 3. Now, take the steak out of the soup, place on a cutting board and cut in to bite size pieces, return pieces to soup. Stir the meat into soup and you are ready to eat! That is IF you have the cornbread ready!
  • 4. Notes: There are a lot of variations for this soup; Chicken and chicken bouillon instead of beef,or browned ground beef, instead of field peas use english peas, you can add carrots and celery, instead of home canned vegetables use canned or frozen from the grocery store. My mother would put macaroni in this soup if we didn't have potatoes on hand. Or if you prefer rice, add rice instead of potatoes or macaroni. If you have leftover vegetables in the refrigerator toss em in. This makes a large pot of soup, what I have left I put in freezer containers and freeze for later use.

THE BEST BEEFY VEGETABLE SOUP



The Best Beefy Vegetable Soup image

I did a lot of experimenting to come up with a Vegetable beef soup that I really like. Most seem very bland to me or loaded with tomato sauce. This has a little kick to it, but I would never call it "hot" and spicy. Just a mild something extra that you don't usually taste in regular versions of this soup. I prefer to make this in the crockpot. It freezes beautifully. Don't add potatoes until you plan to eat it (microwave, chop, and add), especially if you plan to freeze this dish. I have found that potatoes get mushy in frozen soups.
