Recipe: Vi's Vegetable Beef Soup

October 31, 2005

Ingredients:

1-2 lb. stew beef browned
3-4 garlic cloves
1 large onion, chopped
2-3 Tbsp. olive oil
1 cup water
1 or 2 lbs. fresh carrots

1/3 - 1/2 jar of beef base to 1 gal. water
4-6 large potatoes, diced bite size
1-2 large onions, large chopped pieces
3 cans diced or stewed tomatoes with juice
1 or 2 cans beans - I used kidney beans, and Pork and Beans
1 or 2 cans cut corn
2-3 stalks celery, diced
2 cans green beans
2 cans peas
2 - 3 tsp. parsley

Directions:

Brown stew beef in large skillet with onion, garlic, and olive oil. After meat is really browned, add 1 cup water to loosen the meat drippings. Add that to the soup pot.

Peel and slice 1 or 2 lbs. fresh carrots and steam them in another small pot.

When the beef is almost tender, add remaining vegetables and parsley. Add beef base water and 2 cans beef broth (or you can use chicken broth). Simmer.

When meat is tender, add the steamed carrots. Salt and pepper to taste.

(You can add instant potatoes if you like a thicker soup.)

This is an easy vegetable soup. Add anything you like in the way of canned or frozen vegetables. I hope you'll enjoy this. Don't be afraid to improve on it with your own favorite flavors. Please share some with someone that can use a hug and warm meal.

FIESTA SOUP

1 lb. ground beef
2 cans Campbell's condensed minestrone soup (including 2 soup cans water)
1 can Ranch Style bens
1 can diced Rotel

1 lb. Velvetta cheese - cut into small cubes

Brown ground beef and crumble into small pieces --drain and add next three ingredients.
Bring to a boil and then add cheese gradually, stirring constantly.

Serves 4 - 6.

Is better if made day before serving except for adding cheese so it will not burn.

"Jessie Cates" Vegetable Soup

THIS IS HALF THE ORIGINAL RECIPE

2-1/2 gal. water
4 lbs. chopped celery
3 - 1/2 lbs. ( 1/4 cut) onions

2 - 1/2 lbs. zucchini - sliced
2 - 1/2 lbs. yellow squash - sliced
1/2 teaspoon rosemary
1 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 teaspoon GR Bay leaves ( GR = ground? ) ( I used 2-3
whole bay leaves )
1/2 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon pepper
1 - 1/2 jars beef base ( add to 1/2 qt. of above warm water )
2 boxes cut green beans ( frozen)
2 cans stewed tomatoes ( 6 lbs )
2 - 1/2 lbs. peas
1/2 can tomato puree ( 6 lb.)
add after all vegetables are firm tender
5 lbs. Steamed carrots ( cook these seperate until just tenderthen add when soup is done. They taste better)

This recipe was given to me the day they closed. It is my favorite veggie soup. Hope you will give it a try. It makes a lot so you'll have some to share or freeze. You can find the restaurant size cans at Sams club , Costco or Smart & Final. You need a really big pot for the whole recipe. SHARE!!

Love and hugs, Vi Johnson

P.S.
Just brown and cook a couple of lbs. of stew beef and add
for veggie beef soup. Enjoy & Share
