Hearty Vegetable Beef Soup Recipe

"I added barley instead of the potatoes to this recipe. It reminded me of my mom's vegetable beef soup when I was a kid. Thanks!"

"As title implies a hearty vegetable beef soup. Definitely recommended. As a suggestion go a little light on spices. We found them just a bit too pronounced at 1/2 tsp each."

"This is really good. The only thing I changed was I used green beans instead of the optional peas."

"I browned the stew meat and put every thing my large crock put. Cut all vegetable into small cubes. 8 hours in the crock pot came out very good. Also added one more can 14 oz of stock. Had some for two nights for the 2 of us. Paul"

"This is a great recipe. Very simple to make. I have made it in the oven before, but tonight I am cooking it slowly on the stove top. Just a comment about the review posted by chefof thefuture; the recipe does call for potatoes, in fact 2 large potatoes chopped. Thanks!"

"tastes great, but the recipe calls for no potatoes. There looks like there is potatoes in in it(by the picture). I had to add potatoes. I would add 2 potatoes. Helps thicken it and makes it more hearty. Besides who doesnt put potatoes in vegi/beef soup? Also if you don't have a large dutch oven bring to a boil over stove and let simmer with lid on for 1 hr and simmer with lid off for 1 1/2 hrs. Thickens nice and can always add more broth if need be."

"This soup is so delicious and the flavor just gets better every day!!! Try this recipe!!!"
