VEGETABLE BEEF SOUP - BASIC RECIPE
My mother never made soup from scratch so I never learned how. After trying a number of soup recipes from Zaar, I came up with this recipe as a guideline for a basic veggie beef soup. I often throw in whatever veggies I have around so the soup is never exactly the same two times running; however, soup-making isn't an exact science as is baking. I'm posting the recipe so that I can give it out easily; evidently, folks seem to really like it!

Steps:
- Brown meat in large pot along w/ onions, celery, and carrots.
- Add remaining ingredients, bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat, cover and simmer 30-45 mins til veggies and barley are done.
- Note #1: I've been adding ½ cup pearl barley to the soup, which will be done in the amount of simmering time. Quick barley takes only 10 minutes to cook so you could add later.
- Note #2: I've found that adding pasta, while good at first, it continues to absorb the soup liquid and get really big and the soup becomes more like a stew. If you'd like noodles, I would cook them separately and add them to the bowl just before ladling in the soup.
- Note #3: You could also add rice, if you would like.
OLD-FASHIONED VEGETABLE BEEF SOUP
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.

Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, green beans, and peas.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender but still have a bit of a bite to them. Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and bland.
- Use a good quality beef broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. If you don't have any beef broth on hand, you can use chicken broth or vegetable broth instead.
- Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a bit of acid, such as lemon juice or vinegar, to brighten up the flavor.
- Serve the soup hot. Vegetable beef soup is best served hot, with a side of crusty bread or crackers.
Conclusion:
Vegetable beef soup is a hearty, flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious and satisfying soup that the whole family will enjoy.
