Ingredients for Vegetable Beef Soup

Meat – Just like a beef stew, chuck is our first choice because it is so tender. Use a chuck roast and cut it yourself. You can also use beef stew meat, skirt steak, or even brisket. If substituting ground beef, it won’t need to simmer for a long time to tenderize.

Vegetables – The vegetables in this soup let you eat the rainbow. If you’d like to use frozen vegetables, they can be added along with the corn and beans.

Seasonings Onion and garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, & pepper keep this beef soup savory with a simple and hearty flavor. This recipe uses dry spices. If adding fresh herbs, stir them in with the beans and corn.

Tips for the BEST Soup

  • Browning adds flavor. Brown in small batches – if the pan is crowded, the beef will steam instead of brown.
  • When adding broth, scrape up any brown bits in the bottom for extra flavor.
  • Ensure the beef should is fork-tender before adding the veggies. If the beef is not tender, it likely needs more time, cover and cook it 20 minutes more and check it.
  • To thicken the broth a little bit, mix a tablespoon or so of cornstarch with an equal amount of water. Stir it into the simmering soup and let it cook for at least 1 minute.
