Easy Vegetable Beef Soup
One of the first things I learned when I embarked on my budget-food journey is just how easy, filling, and inexpensive soup is. Homemade soups are a breeze to throw together and they’re always so much tastier than store-bought canned soup. This Vegetable Beef Soup is a great example. It’s chock-full of colorful veggies, filling ground beef, and the most delicious broth ever. I like to serve it up with a nice crusty bread for dipping. Lunch is served!
This classic soup combines ground beef, potatoes, tomatoes, peas, corn, carrots, and green beans in a flavorful broth. To make this soup a bit easier, I’ve used a frozen vegetable mix to cut down on the amount of peeling and chopping needed to prepare the soup. That makes this homemade vegetable beef soup extra fast and easy. To give the soup even more flavor, I’ve also added a healthy dose of Italian seasoning and some Worcestershire sauce to the broth for extra depth. This recipe is a great budget-friendly alternative to the beef stew.
