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
