Grandma's Vegetable Soup image

Mom made this soup when we were at home and it was my favorite. She just made it from whatever was left in the refrigerator at the end of the week. I have tweaked it a little but it is her basic recipe. It is still a favorite around our house.

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 1/2 lb ground beef
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp garlic salt
3 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 medium onions, chopped
1 Tbsp chopped garlic
4 ribs celery, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 can(s) (15 oz) diced tomatoes
2 qt water or vegetable broth
16 oz frozen vegetable mix
1 box frozen cut okra
2 c cabbage, chopped
1 c macaroni, uncooked
SOUP SPICES
2 tsp garlic salt
1 Tbsp chili powder
1 Tbsp parsley flakes
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp tony chachere's creole seasoning

Steps:

  • 1. In a large soup pot, place potatoes, onion, celery, tomatoes, chopped garlic and water or vegetable stock (enough to cover vegetables by 2 inches).
  • 2. Add the soup spices to pot. Stir to combine.
  • 3. Cover and bring soup to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and continue simmering.
  • 4. While this is simmering, prepare ground beef by crumbling it into a large skillet, seasoning it with garlic salt and cumin and cooking until it is no longer pink. Drain off the excess fat and add the beef to the simmering pot. Cover and continue simmering.
  • 5. After @ 30-45 minutes, add the mixed vegetables, okra, cabbage and macaroni to the soup pot. Add more vegetable broth if needed so you will have plenty of soup stock.
  • 6. Lower the heat and cook until veggies and cabbage are tender and the macaroni is cooked but not mushy, @ 15-20 minutes.
