SOUP'S ON....BEEF VEGETABLE SOUP

As much as I love pumpkin, as in last month's Pumpkin Palooza recipes, I think I love soups in the Fall and Winter even more. Since the weather is finally cooperating for soul soothing recipes, it's time to pull out some of my favorite soups. Oh how I love me some beef vegetable and what a perfect way to get some nourishing veggies and antioxidants in your system. It's a great near the end of Summer Soup too to reap the bounty of all the garden goodness!
Yum  

I get the BEST beef base from a local Amish store and it gives this soup so much flavor. The cabbage is a flavor perk too and even if you don't like cabbage like a couple of my boys, you cannot even tell it is in there and they gobble it up. This freezes so well too so any leftovers form the big ole' stock pot, I put in freezer containers and it's great to pul our for lunches. 

What You'll need

Beef Vegetable Soup

INGREDIENTS

1 4-5lb Chuck or shoulder beef roast

1 can tomato juice

2 cans diced or stewed tomatoes

1 14oz can beef broth

1 bag frozen veggies for soup

1/2 onion, chopped

1/2 cup celery, diced 

3-4 potatoes, diced

1 cup baby carrots, diced

1/2 a head of cabbage, chopped

1 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce

2-3 Tbsp of a good beef base

Salt and Pepper to taste 

DIRECTIONS

After you have cooked the roast in the crockpot several hours with Worcestershire and 2 Tbsp beef base until tender, cool and shred the meat. You can either chill the broth and skim off any fat or pour directly into a large stockpot. To the pot add the tomato juice, tomatoes, beef broth and all the veggies and an additional Tbsp of beef base as desired. Bring to a boil, cook 15 minutes and reduce heat to a simmer. Add shredded beef and salt and pepper to taste. You can either transfer to crockpot or like me, simmer in the stockpot for a few hours on low. We like to serve this with buttered Saltine crackers.
