In This Post
Is there anything more comforting and cozy than a warm bowl of soup? I love having homemade soup recipes at the ready or having one stashed in the freezer for busy days. Whether it’s crockpot ham and potato soup, roasted cabbage soup or lasagna soup, I know I’ve got a meal that will make me and my family happy and satisfied.
I’m sure that every family has its own version of vegetable soup. Whether it’s made with or without ground beef, stew beef, chicken, or veggies alone like my garden veggie soup, almost everyone I know has a fond memory of a warm bowl of homemade soup. And, of course, that includes me!
What Makes This Beef And Vegetable Soup Recipe So Special?
- It is a family favorite recipe that can also be used as meal prep if any is left.
- Simple ingredients are brought to life with flavorful spices.
- Thanks to ground chuck meat, it’s hearty enough to keep you full.
Vegetable Beef Soup Ingredients
- Ground chuck: this is similar to ground beef but is a bit fattier, which gives the soup more flavor. Beef stew meat or cubed chuck roast can be used if you like.
- Vegetables: onion, potatoes (red potatoes or russet potatoes), crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and frozen vegetables (carrots, green beans, and peas) make up the veggies in this soup.
- The seasoning – my Southern Soul House Seasoning is the best choice for bringing all of the flavors together. You can add red or black pepper for added spice as well.
- The broth: to make the broth, you will need beef broth and water.
- For the garnish: fresh chopped parsley or chives are my favorite.
