Classic Vegetable Beef Soup

This classic vegetable beef soup always hit the spot for me as a kid and still does today! Use this base to make it your own. This recipe is very forgiving – use what you’ve got! It’s an excellent opportunity to use leftover vegetables or throw together all of those small pieces of frozen veggies you have left in the freezer. Any way you make it, it will be good with these few base ingredients I have listed. Just don’t skip the beef broth or seasoning. Ok, happy cookin’ y’all!
