Recipe Description

I don’t know about you, but this cold weather makes me crave soup! This Vegetable Beef Soup is a perfect antidote to the cold dark days of winter. I love the tender pieces of beef, which add a satisfying bite to this gorgeous recipe.

To make this soup, I start by browning the beef. Next, saute onion, carrots, and celery before adding broth, tomatoes, browned beef, basil, oregano, thyme, and seasoning to taste with salt and pepper. Simmer for 30 minutes before adding potatoes, green beans. Five minutes before the end, add frozen corn and peas. Once these are heated through, the soup is ready to serve, garnished with parsley.
