Vegetable Beef Soup

Vegetable Beef Soup is the perfect cozy soup and such a good way to use up all those veggies stocked in the fridge!

It’s perfectly hearty and filling thanks to the tender chunks of protein-rich beef and abundance of nutritious vegetables. Plus it’s a versatile recipe so feel free to replace veggies with others you may have on hand.

After simmering for an hour on the stove top this soup has such a delicious rich flavor and the beef is so deliciously tender. This is a perfect comforting fall and winter soup but when you’ve got lots of vegetables to use up in the summer this is the recipe to make!

Note that the soup will be a little brothier than what’s pictures, I like to remove some of the broth so you can see the ingredients in the soup. But with that said you can use less broth if desired or even simmer the soup uncovered during cooking (just go easy on the salt).
