Tips for old fashioned vegetable beef soup recipe
- I use frozen vegetables but fresh vegetables can be used just as well.
- Please cut your potatoes fairly small in size (about 1 inch pieces) so that they cook quickly.
- Use a large stockpot because that allows everything to cook evenly. I also prefer using a nonstick pot to prevent anything from sticking or burning.
- Beef broth tastes the best but vegetable or chicken broth can be used too.
- Ground turkey meat can be used instead of regular ground beef.
- Paprika and red chili flakes are optional but a subtle spicy kick.
- You must drain excess fat because that prevents a layer of fat from floating on top of your soup, which looks so gross!
- This soup tastes even better the nest day since the flavors deepen overnight.
- Don't over-cook the potatoes because their texture will become very soft and mushy.
- Use low sodium broth because that prevents the soup from becoming too salty.
- The amount of Italian seasoning can be adjusted, based on your preference.
- Instead of condensed tomato soup, you can use more canned diced tomatoes.
- If the soup is too thick, add more broth or water. If soup is too thin, cook without lid on medium high heat to reduce liquid and thicken it.
- To make a cheesy soup, add 1 cup of a combination of cheddar and parmesan cheese at the end and mix it all together. I personally prefer this soup without cheese.
- To make creamy soup, add some heavy cream at the end.
- Instead of potatoes, you can add small macaroni, noodles, rice or barley. Just add them in step 4 and and additional ¾ cup broth.
