Quick and Easy Vegetable Beef Soup

[@KayKayClaudette-mh4wc]

I keep a 1.5 quart Tupperware freezer container in my freezer at all times and after meals I add any leftover veggies to the container, whether it be a few tablespoons of leftovers or a cup. When the container is full, time to make veggie soup!

[@spenfor1598]

Oh that's a great idea!! 🖒 I'm sure gonna start doing that cause soup season is coming!!🍜🍪

[@kelleydavis100]

That’s a great idea, thanks!! ❤

[@stephaniebennett298]

My mom use to do that!

[@DebiRumsey]

Lol been doing that forever…my kids call it “garbage bowl soup”! They love it!

[@joymitchell1991]

I have done that,too.

[@sbender3787]

This is good made with ground beef also. I use low sodium V-8. The V-8 gives it a cooked all day taste. I make it with frozen mixed vegetables. I do not use chicken broth. I don't think it is necessary. I will sometimes add a handful of quick cooking barley. Cool that huge pot in a sink full of cold water to get it ready for storage. Bring the water up to the level of the soup and stir the soup often and change the water with fresh cold water. This will cool that huge pot quickly and safely. Do not put the hot pot in the fridge. It will heat the interior of your fridge and will cool too slowly to be safe for the soup. If you don't have a critter problem, you can cool the pot in a snowbank lol.

✍Hello...I'm 78 and I grew up eating home made vegetable beef soup and I've also made vegetable beef soup made with left over beef roast, carrots,potatoes,onions, and I add green beans,peas, corn and chop up some cabbage it really makes a difference. A can of tomatoes and tomato sauce. I don't add water I add tomato juice and some beef broth. If you want to sweeten it a little a cousin of mine(A W.VA country girl) told me to use a little catsup. But don't forget to add the chopped cabbage. I don't like can vegetable soup but love homemade soup.

[@laledbetter879]

My mother always saved any leftover veggies in a freezer bag. When soup season rolled around she already had " the fixings " ready to go. She was just like Tom... Nothing goes to waste 😊. We also love cabbage in our soup. I LOVE the full soup pot. Just like Mom's.

[@timbaker1320]

Just as my mom did. Saved eveything. Almost. Mom's are so smart. Mine didn't can like Tom does, she dated and froze about everything in freezer bags after it cooled. She laid items flat on oven cookie baking sheats then froze in a floor style freezer. Once frozen, she could stack them by date.

[@carlitasway2477]

That’s a good idea

[@crissytate4933]

I also love cabbage in mine❤

[@cherylmcnutt9905]

Thank you for this recipe! I found myself blowing cool air on your soup spoon. 😂 I really appreciate your clarity and delivery. Not too fast, not too slow. Your girls are lucky to have you send them to school with these yummy meals!

[@maryrobinson4619]

My Daddy made the best vegetable beef soup and that first cool snap he would call me and I would tell him to look out the window. I was there. Thank you for the memories. God bless you both.

[@comesitatmytable9044]

That's such a sweet story. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@wandamyers2690]

Hey Tom and Melissa, I love soups all year around. I agree that the longer it sits, the better it is just like Pinto beans. God bless you and your family 🧡

[@kathysparks6338]

Thank you for another yummy recipe and reminding us to use what we have or like ....it's helpful and is encouraging. Please tell Melissa thanks for all the behind the scenes work. Please take care. God bless

[@eatallnowsavenone4later342]

I like okra, frozen lima beans and macaroni in my vegetable and beef soup 🍲 😊

[@zullo3529]

I’m a Lima bean lover so I would put those in. I also love to put cabbage in veggie soup. Your recipe looks delicious. I also love V8 and use it in chili. Great recipe. Thanks Tom and Melissa 🥣🥣💕🙏

[@Needlewich]

I make veg-beef soup often with all veggies including cabbage. And the beef, diced tomatoes, chicken broth and bake a pone of cornbread to eat with it!! Love the way you cook, Tom and Melissa! Thanks and God bless! 💕🤗🙏🏻

[@donnaneville192]

This is close to how I (and my mother) make my veggie beef soup. Sometimes it is from leftovers, sometimes I buy everything fresh/frozen and make it. One thing my mom did and I find to really make a difference is cabbage. If I have part of a head I use that cut up very fine, I have also used the Angel Hair coleslaw "bag-o-salad" as my hubs called it. As usual you have made me hungry!

[@janiesoito4494]

My Mom used cabbage, too. She also added bay leaves.

[@ritaammons639]

Yummy! I usually use hamburger in my soup because roasts are expensive , and Lima beans are my favorite in soup . Im so hungry now! ❤

[@rosedolch8637]

This sounds so good and I have the cabbage on hand.. Looks like I am making a nice soup tomorrow!!

[@lindap.p.1337]

Yes, cabbage adds lots of flavor.

[@sharonholmes4444]

You were definitely excellent school teachers! Clarification is outstanding. Thank you!

[@virginiastucky5409]

Good looking veggie beef soup! I put cabbage in mine🙂 enjoy watching your videos. God bless🙏

[@lindajones4734]

This looks delicious. I would add peas to this. Enjoy your dinner tonight.

[@crissytate4933]

Love your soup I use red potatoes they don't get mealy like white ones after you freeze it also cabbage and peas j😅ust love every thing you have fixed and so good to explaining it by steps God Bless you both by the way you need to be on tv ❤

[@nanam5917]

I absolutely love vegetable beef soup. I never heard of using chicken broth in it. I use beef broth and the tomato juice. I also use peas and cabbage in mine. I think the cabbage adds a lot to it. Thank you so much for your recipes, I am always watching from Indiana.

[@connieburns4837]

My grandma always put cabbage in hers. Of course, as a kid I hated cabbage so I would always pick it out. Now, as an adult, I ❤ cabbage any way it’s cooked! My husband hates cabbage so I don’t put it in my soup and I sure do miss it.

[@rogergoodland3140]

I'm from Indiana also.... couldnt do without the cabbage!! : )

[@zullo3529]

@@connieburns4837 Scoop some for him out into another pot then put the cabbage in yours. That’s what I do because mine hate Lima beans!

[@user-xm7lw9vo2r]

Love cabbage in my soup also.

[@cindybrown1356]

Well Lordy, I’ve now gone through and caught up on every single one of your videos! What am I gonna watch now? Ha! I will just wait on these wonderful new ones to be posted. You both are bringing so much joy to us all, I’d love to sit at your table. ❤️☺️❤️

[@comesitatmytable9044]

We are so happy to read that you have watched them all! That's so amazing! Thank you for that great support of our channel. It's very encouraging! Our hope is to always put on at least three videos a week with a new recipe. Perhaps during the holidays we will have a few extras, too.

[@lindahays8444]

Just made this yesterday. But I use ground beef. I use mixed vegetables plus corn and sweet peas. I love home made soups.

[@jeannettethorsby7085]

I absolutely 💯% love ❣️ beef soup. To change it up, add some zucchini, garbanzo beans, a can of diced tomatoes, and small macaroni and presto. You have minestrone soup 😋. Soup is so diverse. It's easily digested and healthy. A quick homemade meal. 🙂🦋

[@meggmegg6656]

I love vegetable beef soup. Make it stovetop or in crockpot. Usually use frozen mixed veggies and potato and onion chopped.

[@michaelgrissom5238]

Corn Bread would be delicious with this soup. Yummy

[@pampeterson3092]

This looks great. A good grilled cheese sandwich would take yummy with this soup. I love a soup that can be frozen…..cook once, eat twice.

[@melissacurtin7192]

I love this time of year when a pot of soup is total comfort food. I love making a pot of soup with whatever I have on hand like Hamburger Macaroni, Italian Sausage, Potato and Kale, My Mom’s recipe of Sausage Bean Chowder always brings back childhood memories. I also agree making it a day or two early really develops the flavors. Thank you for another recipe to try with leftovers. Again congratulations on over 100k subs!

[@amethystsamia]

My dad always put mushrooms in it. And yes he used canned mushrooms. When I was a kid you couldn’t just go to Walmart and get fresh ones. 🤣 I can’t remember what all he put in it but I just know it was anything and everything. He would make the most giant pot of it that I have ever seen. And I hated it. But I would pick the mushrooms out. Now I wish he were around to make that giant pot of soup. I’d eat every bit of it, mushrooms or not. 💜

[@rae2633]

My momma used tomato juice but I bet the V8 is just as good. She also would put some chopped cabbage in our soup and freeze them in plastic ice cream tubs lol. This looks so delicious. Thank you Tom and Melissa

[@virginiasimer4171]

This is my favorite recipe and I have made it for years. I also freeze some of it for later. It is a go to necessity. Krogers/Smiths sells frozen bags of soup veggies for those who want more veggies or didn’t plan ahead.

[@Sjohnston1928]

I agree with your daughter and Melissa, homemade vegetable beef soup is the ultimate comfort food. It is just like a big hug in a bowl. Thank you for another great video. ( I was glad you switched to the larger kettle. I was worrying about it boiling over.😅)

[@chriscanfield8472]

You guys do an amazing job! Thank you for sharing.

[@jenniferporties6215]

I love it with cornbread! I just love u alls recipie! So simple and easy!👍

[@anniegetyrgun8741]

Did something similar today Tom! Two days ago I’d done a ham joint in he slow cooker, with onions, carrots, celery and a bottle of cider! There was well over half of everything left so today I added some potatoes, and red lentils (to thicken) and made ham and lentil soup with veggies! Delicious

[@chanajohnson2567]

We are having a cold snap and rain, so am making this tomorrow. I’ve never used V8! I know that will add lots of flavor!! Thanks so much for your wonderful recipes!

[@comesitatmytable9044]

You are most certainly welcome. We love soup when the weather is cooler. Thank you very much for watching our channel.

[@ladonnaowens710]

Combination of tomatoes and beef broth is my favorite!

[@PretirementDays]

This soup looks so comforting

[@debbellable]

Great soup recipe for a winter dinner or lunch with grilled cheese sandwich.

[@stephaniecampbell6811]

I love the versatility since I'm vegetarian. Thinking of throwing in some tortellini at the end

[@sammyhakimvlogs5608]

This Quick and Easy Vegetable Beef Soup recipe looks so delicious 😋 Mr. Tom.

[@cindylouwho9348]

Growing up, my dad oils make the best vegetable Neff soup and always used V-8 juice instead of tomato juice. Makes it so much better!

Great 👍 recipe. Thank you. Love 💕 and Hugs. ❤❤❤

I would love you and your wife to be my neighbor! Thank you for your extra secrets with dinners! I've learned a lot. Thank you.

Not much I enjoy more than soups this time of year and this looks so delicious 😋

[@lynnstash2247]

I do the same thing with my left-over beef & pork. Make a big pot of Beef soup or Pork Stew that my mother always made. I use Beef broth not chicken & I do also use V8 in my Beef soup. I love your videos. All our left-over soup no matter what kind I make I freeze it.. Yum Yum

[@peggytodd1917]

I like hamburger meat in mine I cook it awhile to get the flavors definitely longer than 20 minutes

[@bowed305]

I really like hamburger soup as well.

My granny alway put Rague Sauce in her vegetable soup with neck bones, browned ground beef along with the vegetables.❤

[@andrearob8200]

I just made this today . Living here in Florida the weather is getting a little cooler. Lol

[@dejonscales5217]

My grandmother would leave over vegetables .she would also add some Shreddit cabbage at the end to give it extra flavor. Looks so delicious. Thank you for sharing your recipe with us. Stay safe and take care. See you guys in your next video .

Cooked cabbage is also great in vegetable soup.👍🏼

[@rubyslippers9611]

It's raining and getting colder. Soup sounds great. Wish I had a 🥣 right now ☺️

[@larrygettel2549]

That time of the year again where soup is more common meal, great recipe I do make something simular to that except for the V8 but one thing I have tried and we really like it is finely chunk up a small head of cabbage and add to your soup, I can't explain it but it really adds a unique flavor.. Again I really enjoy watching your videos and congratulations on a 100,000 subs great job

[@dorishaynes5165]

I can veggie beef soup all the time. My daughter asked me to can her some. It is so good.

[@lisadobson4227]

Looks delicious. I love leftovers...anything😊

[@w.a.stewart3191]

We put our frozen soup in our crockpot, (in the a.m) on a low temperature which will make the soup ready for supper. Thank you, for this video.

[@macycharmin]

What a great idea for those who have a large frozen portion!! I cook for 1 so I freeze a few 2 portion size per food saver bag that are quick to thaw.

[@davemeiser2999]

Great idea on the Tupperware in the freezer with leftovers for soup.

[@karenwellington8569]

Oh yes, cozy season 🤤 oooowee I love food ❤

[@karenzurek9141]

When I was cooy alot, I started with the biggest pot I had and still had a pot overflowing. Yes I frozen my soup all the time with potatoes and even pasta. V8 is a must for veggie soup. It has all the spices needed in addition to the other ones added.

[@donnacrockett6201]

This looks delicious and perfect for a snowy night. Thank you Tom and Melissa.

[@c.sc.9353]

absolutely best way to make use of leftovers in the most delicious way!

[@Kathy200]

WOW!!!!!! Melissa's got it made in the shade with you're cooking. I love vegtable soup and add all kinds of veggies. Cauliflower, broccoli, brussel sprouts, pearl onions, cabbage.....plus all the veggies you put in. YUM!!!!

[@comesitatmytable9044]

It's so good! And such a versatile recipe. Thanks so much for watching our channel.

[@alvinwilliams1648]

I am so impressed with your method of step by step to us with each ingredient of your recipe... you have made it so convenient even to one that has never made this soup...if rest of your post is as this one ‼️. You have another looked 👍🙋

[@ferencmorvai5720]

It’s great to make it at this time of the year in New York State. It is very cold today, 1 November, which we call rabbit rabbit every time we get a new month.🐰🐰😉” that sounds yummy😊❤

Oh that sounds so good, thank you so for showing me what you put in yours . ❤

[@alisonpovey1234]

Hi Tom and Melissa. My kind of soup. I sometimes put a handful of barely. Yum yum.😊❤❤

[@WestTNPatriot]

I live to make vegetable beef soup! When the bags of “slaw” are on sale, I puck up several bags and put in the freezer. Then when making this soup, I’ll put in the cabbage too!

[@carlinemcmillion7926]

My family loves homemade soup and I often use chicken instead of beef. Nothing better with a big piece of cornbread. I can it for my youngest son, his children and grandchild to have on nights they work late.

[@happygrandma5637]

I would definitely use beef broth / stock instead of chicken, never thought of grating the onion but I will certainly do so in the future. Think that the already cooked veg & beef should go in at the last minute. No reason to cook them again. I'm not a fan of tomatoes in my beef soup but I like the idea of using V8. Use V8 in my gazpacho. I would make cornbread to go with.

[@looming43]

I thought I had a good idea by using V-8 juice for soups-more vegetables, but I see you do too. I personally prefer a meat broth for my base instead of V8 or tomato juice. I love adding okra(not everyone's preference) and barley. I like Italian Seasoning but didn't realize it had all of those seasonings in it. Thanks a bunch for the recipes that use common ingredients. I don't have to go out and buy something that i normally don't use. Keep up the good work. Love the program.

[@vger9942]

Soup is always better the next day. My mother taught me that a looooong time ago.

Made this with chicken for my husband. He LOVES it. Keeps his diabetic numbers in check. Even the little bit of potatoes & corn don't add enough carbs to bother him. I make a huge pot & freeze 😋 Making my 3rd heavenly chocolate cake. Everyone loves that, too! Thank you for your wonderful recipes! MERRY CHRISTMAS ❤

[@kelleydavis100]

This soup looks yummy!! I live in Kansas and around here we make Steak Soup. It’s made with hamburger and vegetables and it is beyond amazing!! Basically the same thing as what you have there, except it’s creamy. Let me know if you’re interested in trying it, I’m happy to share the recipe, it’s a great one!! Thanks for the wonderful video, it got very cold here in Kansas last night (28°!!) and a bowl of hot soup sounds amazing right now! ❤

[@elishiawilkinson7013]

I too would love to have that. Imake mine with hamburger also but its not creamy

[@lisasg3cell]

This is the ultimate comfort food. One of my favorites. My mom always made vegetable soup when the weather was cold or when anyone was sick with a cold. My dad absolutely loved it. He'd sneak spoonfuls of the broth before it was even ready. Good soup and good memories!

[@janbond8460]

Telma makes vegetable bullion cubes for anyone looking for a vegetarian option. They are in a celephane package. Comes with three large cubes to a package. They also make a mushroom bullion cube. You can find them down the international food aisle by Kosher foods. They make delicious bullion cubes.

[@sandiefletcher4943]

What I really appreciate fm Tom & Melissa is that all of the recipes I've seen are dishes of food that down to earth ppl like me eat as opposed to dishes with fancy names I wouldn't even think of eating. Plus, the simplicity - with standard measurements - of which they're made. I can imagine the number in Melissa's sewing group has grown in size! 😂 😋 I have not seen one thing amongst the recipes for 'Come Sit At My Table' that I wouldn't eat. That's not to say I wouldn't omit the carrots in the Vegetable Beef Soup, but aren't all of our own recipes tweaked to our personal preferences & dietary restraints?! As always, Thank you Tom & Melissa for another awesome video as I know my next Vegetable Beef Soup will be outstanding! 👌 😋 😊

[@lindazimmermann1732]

I made this with chicken. WONDERFUL! Thank you for the recipe. ❤

[@macycharmin]

This is straight up comfort food for me! It was one of my most favorite winter meals that my mother made when growing up. I've used V8 also, it adds great flavor. I've never used leftover roast, only ground hamburger. I use my leftover roast for quick meals that are frozen for a later date. Thanks for the reminder of how I need to make this soon since the chill is starting to come on here in Texas. Thanks you two for another yummy recipe!

This is almost identical to mine, which was originally my mother's. I make a 22quart pot.. I put anything I can think of including cauliflower, or broccoli, peas, Lima beans, okra, & I definitely must have CABBAGE. I use stewed tomatoes in place of V8 & barley. I love the 2 of U & love ur videos

[@SandyC-ep3tv]

This is so close to my Mama's recipe for it! The only difference is cabbage. Mama always put in some cabbage but she always would cut the core from the cabbage and toss it in while cooking. She would remove it and throw it away before we ate the soup. She said you got more flavor from the core than the whole head of cabbage. Thank you Tom and Melissa for this trip down Memory Lane. Good memories of being in the kitchen with her. God Bless you both. Love your channel!
