Directions
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.,Very pleasant dish… will probably use Rotel next time instead of regular crushed tomatoes to perk things up a bit. Otherwise, recipe was spot on for us. Cheers!,used a 32 Oz carton beef broth. No water! 2 cans diced tomatoes. Wonderful and easy.
