Tender beef, savory vegetables makes this Old Fashion Beef Vegetable Soup Recipe a filling meal that is easy to assemble and no fuss to cook.

This is one of my all-time favorite comfort foods.

Do you like to travel? I like to travel as long as the whole family goes, but I don’t like to leave the boys to go. But, then, I hate packing them when we all travel. No, I can’t trust them to do it themselves yet. Do you like to pack? I absolutely hate it!

H-a-t-e it!

I used to be a very thorough, smart packer. But, then I got the task of packing for me and both boys. It’s just overwhelming. At least when we go to the beach, they don’t really need clothes. Well, you know what I mean. They need a couple of swimsuits, suntan lotion and 2 pairs of shorts! Boys are easy like that.

Traveling to a cold area with coats and boots and sweaters is exhausting!

While I packed for the latest trip, Big Daddy made this awesome soup. He’s the soup maker in the family. He makes a HUGE production of making soup. That’s pretty exhausting too!

The soups I’ve made in the past take about 30 minutes to make. That’s why I like soup. It’s quick and most of them can be made in a slow cooker and require very little hands-on time.

Not for Big Daddy. Oh, no. When Big Daddy makes soup it takes all day! Whatever soup he’s making, I call All Day Soup.

Beef Vegetable Soup

I prefer chuck roast for soup. Those packages of stew meat in the grocery stores are bits and pieces of different cuts of meat. I don’t recommend them.
You can use shoepeg or whole kernel corn. As well, you can use either canned or frozen.
My mom didn’t put rice or noodles in vegetable soup. Therefore, I don’t. However, you can if you like it. You can add 1 cup white rice and or 6 ounces egg noodles.

This Beef Vegetable Soup has tangy tomato broth and is full of hearty vegetables. I always put extra potatoes in because I like them best.

Old Fashion Beef Vegetable Soup Recipe

This is a hearty beef and vegetable stew. Perfect for cold winter nights. Easy enough to make on a weeknight. Substitute your favorite vegetables if you aren't fond of the ones I used. It would be great with pumpkin or sweet potatoes. This recipe is easily adapted for the slow cooker. After browning meat, transfer to a slow cooker and simmer 4 hours.
