Vegetable Beef Soup

Soup season is in full swing and I am beyond pumped. When it comes to maintaining long term weight loss and living a healthy lifestyle, soups are one of my go-to meals for lunch or dinner.

Warm, filling and totally satisfying, a bowl of soup is a sure fire way to get more lean protein and nutritious vegetables into your diet.

Vegetable Beef Soup is a classic recipe from my childhood that my mom still makes quite frequently. While we can’t always have dinner together every night anymore, making this soup for my boys makes me feel like we are together in one room (even if we aren’t!)

Lemony Chicken Soup with Greens - The Lemon Bowl


A few other family favorite soups include Lemony Chicken Soup with Greens and Lemony Lentil Soup with Spinach. Are you starting to figure out how I came up with The Lemon Bowl?

Traditionally we use carrots, potatoes, celery and peas in this vegetable beef soup recipe but any veggies you have on hand would work great. Try using parsnips, sweet potatoes, corn or even zucchini.

Pro Tip: Before serving, sprinkle with fresh herbs such as minced parsley or basil. Using fresh herbs as a garnish is a great way to perk up any bowl of soup.

Your spoon is waiting.

Serves8

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 pound beef stew meat or sirloin cut in 1 inch cubes
  • 1 teaspoon salt divided
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 2 carrots diced
  • 3 celery stalks diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon all-purpose steak seasoning
  • 2 russet potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 32 ounces beef broth low sodium
  • 32 ounces V8 juice or tomato juice
  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
  • fresh parsley garnish
  • ½ cup cooked barley (hull-less or regular) Optional

Instructions
 

  1. Heat a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Spray with non-stick cooking spray or a little oil if you’re not using a non-stick pan.
  2. Sprinkle beef with half of the salt and pepper then add to hot pan. Sear beef on both sides, about 1-2 minutes per side, until nicely browned. Remove from pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  3. Add diced onion, carrots, celery and garlic to the pan along with the remaining salt and pepper. Sauté until veggies soften, 6-8 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in Worcestershire, thyme, steak seasoning and potato cubes. Cook for 1-2 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Pour beef broth and V8 into the pan along with reserved beef cubes then bring to a boil. Stir in frozen vegetables then bring back to a boil.
  5. Cover pot with a lid then reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes before serving with fresh parsley. Add optional barley in.

    On a bitterly cold, snowy NJ day, this soup, served with Italian-bread-warm-from-the-oven, was SENSATIONAL……..I. Taste, nutrition, and spirit-lifting. Thank you.

    My favorite soup recipe is for something we call “Cure-It-All” Chicken Soup…homemade stock, lots of onion, carrots, celery, mushrooms, ginger, chicken. A little soy sauce, a little balsamic. I am feeling better already. Always have a couple of portions in the freezer in case of emergency. When I visit my kids, I always bring a quart or two of this for them.

    I am always looking for new soup recipes that are more healthy. Soups are just so easy for being a 1 container meal for taking to work for lunch. My latest favorite is probably chicken and wild rice made a little healthier by not using roux.

    My favorite healthy soup is a “kitchen sink” vegetable soup, with no meat or meat broth, only vegetables, beans and vegetable broth. For protein there are the beans and you can also add peas or textured vegetable protein. An all-in-one meal!

    I am usually not a soup eater. My favorite from years past was a Hungarian bean and kielbasa soup with dumpling noodles. Even though I’ve never liked vegetable beef soup, this one sounds like it would be worth trying.

    My favorite soup is Tuscan Chicken Soup. It has white beans and pumpkin added to it.

    Here on the coast of Washington state, we have a lot of stormy days, so I make a big pot of
    soup once a week. I agree with you Liz, a bowl of soup is so much more satisfying
    than a sandwich!

    I have a sister-in-law who hates soup — any kind. I can’t even comprehend that! I could eat soup every day. Choosing my favorite is hard, though….I’ll say tortilla soup. I might give you a different answer tomorrow. I have a chicken carcass in my crockpot right now that will be beautiful, rich stock in about another 48 hours. I’ll have to check out some of your chicken soup recipes when it’s done. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    “However, I would rather finish a dish wish a drizzle of high quality olive oil than coat a pan with hundreds of calories that you won’t even taste in the final product.” <——Great point!

    My favorite healthy soup recipe is a soup I make when I can't keep up with my CSA greens. It's full of greens but potatoes give it a creamy texture. I just love it even though it looks like swamp water. :)
