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 3/4 cup broth.
