Yummy Beefy Vegetable Soup

Submitted by Shan2themax

"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."

This was good on a cold winter day. I used stew meat and only two bags of mixed vegetables. I didn't use the other two bags of vegetables. I only used 30 ounces of beef broth and used some shredded hash browns. I followed the rest of the recipe other then I didn't use the oil when browning. I have eaten three bowls today. The longer it sits the better it gets. We all enjoyed this but the next time I would cut the pepper down just a tad.

I made the following changes. Instead of the frozen mixed vegetables, I cut up carrots and celery and sauted them with my onions and garlic. I then added corn and green beans to the pot after all the other ingredients. I also added fresh parsley. I omited the peas (just a personal preference). It smells wonderful while simmering on the stove and tases awesome. It was just what I was looking for in a veggie soup. thanks.
