This Vegetable Beef Soup Recipe is definitely one of the delicious beef vegetable soup on the planet. With all the different vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, celery, etc you will have an amazing healthy and nutrient rich soup. If you have some picky eaters in your house, you can easily tweak this recipe by adding more vegetables or more beef. I would also point out that the slow cooker version of Vegetable Beef Soup Recipe is also fantastic. I suggest browning the beef in oil in the skillet before adding to your slow cooker along with other ingredients.
