MY MOM’S OLD-FASHIONED VEGETABLE BEEF SOUP

Who doesn’t love some good ole’ meat and potatoes. Or, if you’re in my family you’d pronounce it “potatahs.”

Adding beef broth and water makes a light tomato base that’s not too thick. If you prefer a thicker consistency, sub another can of tomato soup for the water.

This Old-Fashioned Vegetable Beef Soup recipe makes a LOT, and it’s best to adjust the ingredient quantities based on the size of your beef roast.

It’s the perfect slow cooker soup recipe to freeze in portions and thaw to reheat later (if you can stand not to eat it all at once).

So, next time you’re looking for a comforting meal, give this homemade vegetable beef soup recipe a try. It’s a family favorite that will make it in the regular rotation.
