Vegetable Beef Soup AKA Poor Man's Soup

[@shelbylynnwilliams8520]

The soup & cornbread looks good. I am fixing chicken enchiladas, Spanish rice, refried beans, and cherry coke salad for supper. Two of our grown children, & son’s girlfriend are on the way here and will spend the weekend putting lawn soil & grass seed on the bare spots in our yard. I am grateful for their help but our son’s girlfriend is a picky eater and not used to southern cooking since was raised in Illinois. She thinks I am poisoning her if I fix grits, collard greens, etc. My son requested the meal for tonight’s supper.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Sounds great, thanks very much

[@nakiashelby6413]

As a person born and raised in Illinois, I would love your grits, greens, etc. Oh, I forgot to mention my parents are from MS, so I guess I have a slight advantage 😂

[@theresarogerssimpson1280]

😂 oh my goodness

[@mysticalmargaret6105]

Now I need to look up Cherry Coke salad!

[@melissafain8998]

You two are so cute together. Anytime I feel tense I watch your videos and then feel calm. You’re a peaceful, kind couple. May God bless you and yours always.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Calvin and Marie I love soup anytime. This vegetable soup looked delicious. Thank you for sharing this tasty meal.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

You are so welcome

[@gretchenhejazi9463]

Enjoyed this video. Love seeing the two of you, together, in the kitchen, cooking up great food. Soup looks absolutely delicious.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks so much

[@evinrude1236]

I always like to put some macaroni in my vegetable soup. And yes......crumble that cornbread in the bowl and then pour the soup over it! This looks so good! 👍

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much

[@lisalowe5262]

My grandmother called it "everything but the kitchen sink soup!" She would save bits and pieces of any veggies left over from meals in a zip bag(s) kept in the freezer with the cooking liquid. When the bag(s) were full, add a few taters, and it was SOUP TIME!! I do this too in the winter. Of course there was cornbread, too. I sure do miss my MawMaw, but always think of her when I make this meal. We too eat on it for days.God bless y'all!

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Yes, thanks very much

[@kathystewart8509]

I love vegetable soup♥My mom would put the kitchen sink in her soup LOL😄It was always so good ♥

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Yes, thanks very much

[@jeannineunderwood8400]

Love this one. My sister's and I learned to make poor man's soup from our Mom. We added two to three tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce. And beef stock instead of tomato juice. Looks yummy.💗😊

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

That is awesome!

[@sheryleldridge6597]

Good evening Calvin and Marie. My favorite soup..l add baby green lima beans and okra in mine. I love cornbread with mine too. Your vegetable beef soup looks absolutely delicious 😋. Have a Blessed weekend 🙏 😊

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much

[@delledonne1]

I love soup, almost any kind. I've turkey soup simmering on the stove today and I think we'll have that for supper tonight. Now I have to try this vegetable soup you're making, perhaps next week.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Sounds great! Thanks very much

[@carladaniels7910]

I cook alot of soup and freeze in individual containers, also Chilli since I'm single, love garlic bread I can toast in toaster, (my oven is broken after 32years) I use crockpot and microwave, works fine for me...😊

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

We use our toaster oven a lot.

[@wolfgirl156]

Ate this all my life - my mother called it "hamburger soup" but it is the identical recipe... love it

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much

[@Deborah4Antiques]

Hi Folks! My mom was a war bride from Scotland. She grew up on soups and she made them for us kids too. I find we eat more and more soup as we head toward our 70's. We just love them. Good & comforting. Deb

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much Deb. I was just telling Marie that I could eat soup every day and be happy.

[@rita3604]

I put 1 teaspoon of sugar in my soup. I enjoy your videos so much. Watch them off and on all day. ❤

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Love that! Thanks very much

[@kathysorensen798]

My grandma put shredded cabbage and used a small amount of rice. In place of potatoes. I use long grain. I use about a little less than a fourth of a cup. So yummy ❤

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Sounds great!

My Grandma always used a small amount of rice ,tomatoes she had canned, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli,celery, hamburger. It’s was always delicious! She used small amounts 😊of the vegetables and rice, so she had adequate liquid… she used water for liquid. Salt/Pepper. Celery adds so much flavor.❤

Hamburger stew!!! My family used to make this! I was going to make tacos for dinner but instead I'm making this after watching your video. Minus the Hamburger. Thank you for the red pepper flake idea! I used tomato and chicken bouillon. Potatoes, bell peppers, green beans and corn with a can of tomatoes! And red pepper flakes and onion and garlic. It may be 90 degrees here in Mississippi today, but oh well 😂

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Yes, we are dealing with the heat also. Let's just pray that this next hurricane is not to strong.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks so much

[@KathleenCalhoun-em6ys]

Never would have thought of crumbling cornbread on the bottom of the bowl with soup on top. I would have sopped this soup up with crusty bread, and I also think I have had this soup before. It is good.comfort food. You are right about having this several days in a row, and that makes this soup economical. You two work very well together as a team in the kitchen. Bye.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

I always like crumbling my cornbread in the bottom of the bowl for soups and beans.

[@ShelbyBunten]

The soup looked so good hi my friends you too are great working together l do put sugar in my soup Marie ❤️ Shelby

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Me too, thanks very much Shelby

[@shirleyjohnston1256]

I love putting stewed tomatoes in my poor man's soup too! Love veg soup!

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

It's so good! Thanks very much

[@tdrobins45]

I use tomato juice as well…but in the water, add two packets of brown gravy mix…whisk really well and add to soup. It makes a huge difference!!

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Sounds great!

[@titasmom678]

My 73 yr old brother saw this video playing, and he asked me what you were cooking, and I said "soup". He said, I just made that! I guess this shows that these types of recipes are universal no matter where you live. Thanks for showing us your version.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

That is awesome! Yes, soups are very popular and there is so many ways to make them.

[@lynnetaylor6720]

Looks delicious. Okra and finely chopped cabbage too, if you have it. I've used V-8 before because I didnt have the tomato juice. V-8 is also good added to homemade spaghetti sauce or chilli.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Sounds great! Thanks very much

[@TexasBlueBonnet61]

I make that soup quite often! We love it. I'm with you, Calvin; I like my cornbread on the bottom, too!

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Yes, thanks very much

[@oliviaparton8613]

I could eat a nice hot bowl of that soup this cool rainy evening!

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Oh yes! Thanks very much

[@harrietlivengood6793]

Good morning Calvin and Marie. I truly think I could eat a bowl of soup everyday. I love all soups but especially vegetable beef soup. You can feed a crowd on a pot of soup. I always make soup in my biggest pot because it’s good for leftovers and it freezes well. You both look like you’re feeling great in this video. God bless you both.

My daddy used to put V-8 juice in the vegetable soup when he would make it. When I make vegetable soup, I do put a little pinch of sugar in my soup.

I don't put celery in my soups/stews as I don't like cooked celery. I love a good soup/stew, especially when it's homemade. Sometimes I use a recipe, sometimes I just throw in everything but the kitchen sink. It always turns out yummy!! I don't peel my taters--i just cut out any bad spots, chop them up and throw them in. Thanks for showing us your recipe. It looks good!!!!

Good evening Calvin and Marie. Today must be soup day.I made a pot of ,i don't know what to call it. I started with a ham bone & water. Added celery& onion. Then a can of diced tomatoes. Added carrots& potatoes .Took ham off bone& shredded it. Added a couple of squirts of ketchup, salt & pepper to taste. Added a can of rinsed cannelloni beans. No recipe , just winged it. Good but will be better tomorrow. Your soup looks so good, will try that too. We really like soup here. Toss in what you have. Thanks for another good recipe. Take care. Sending 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏.

We made our version of this last night with cornbread and had leftovers tonight with elbow macaroni added. We use the mix veggies in the can, meat, onion, diced tomatoes and I throw in an extra can of corn. I also use V-8 because my husband hates celery so I get my celery flavor from the V-8!! We have this soup pretty often, especially on bad weather days. Have a blessed weekend!! Kristi & Charlie NC

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

We do too. Thanks very much Kristi

[@KNorrisNC]

I also put a healthy squirt of ketchup in ours for the tomato flavor and sugar content to help with the acidity.

❤Happy Friday, my friends! When you’re talking soup, you’re talking my language! I love this soup. I call it Hamburger Soup. I used to add a couple of diced potatoes to mine, but after I tried the canned diced potatoes I just use a large can of regular mixed vegetables, (I would like to use frozen but they always have an overload of green beans in them) I love green. BEans but not so many in my soup. I use a quart of canned tomatoes or a large can of stewed tomatoes. I put some beef broth in and if I have Lima beans I put a small can of them in. This is all with my hamburger/onion mixture. I add dried parsley to almost everything I cook because of its health value. If I want macaroni in mine I wait until my soup has simmered as long as it needs to then add my noodles. Continue until noodles are done. This way they don’t get mushy. Or on day 2 or 3 you can change your soup to goulash by adding the noodles then and I add a pretty good sprinkling of dried Parmesan cheese like you put on spaghetti. It really makes a difference in the taste. I learned this last ingredient from a creator’s Nana. I’m happy to know y’all are having a restful weekend! God bless!! ❤🙏🏻
