One of life’s greatest culinary joys is sopping up the rich broth of a hearty vegetable beef soup with a slice of crusty bread. This recipe produces a delicious rendition of the dish\u2014studded with melt-in-your-mouth tender chunks of braised beef and a wide variety of tender veggies\u2014that’s the perfect centerpiece for any gathering.<\/p>\n
This homemade soup recipe<\/a> takes time. You brown the beef first, cook aromatics in the drippings, then layer in umami-filled flavors for depth and then all of the fresh and\/or frozen vegetables. Let everything simmer until the veggies and beef are tender and the flavors meld. While the recipe feeds a crowd, the soup also freezes well, so you can make a big batch and pop portions in the freezer for later.<\/p>\n In a large stockpot, heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil over medium heat. Brown the beef in batches to seal their juices, adding more oil if necessary. Remove the chunks with a slotted spoon and set them aside on a plate or bowl.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip: <\/em>Browning the meat is a classic soup and stew tip<\/a>. Searing it over high heat adds a richer flavor thanks to the chemical reaction that browns and caramelizes the meat. It’s best to do it in batches to prevent the meat from simmering in its juices and halting the caramelization you’re after.<\/p>\n Add the onions to the drippings and stir until tender. Discard the drippings and return the beef to the pot.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> Cooking the onions in the drippings does a few things. First, as the onions break down, their juices will help pull up the lovely brown bits, aka the fond<\/a>, that the seared beef left behind. That’s all flavor. Second, onions are known aromatics<\/a> that add flavor and aroma to dishes.<\/p>\n Stir in the water, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce and beef bouillon granules. Bring everything to a boil.<\/p>\n Reduce the heat, cover the mixture with a lid and simmer for 45 minutes.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> You can easily substitute bouillon and water for an equal amount of beef stock or broth<\/a>.<\/p>\n Stir in the red potatoes, cabbage, carrots, celery, corn, peas, green beans and lima beans. Then add dried herbs, salt and pepper. Return the soup to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 35 minutes.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> The difference between boiling and simmering<\/a> is due to temperature and the amount of movement in the liquid. Lower heat and slower bubbles mean the ingredients have time to get tender and the flavors to develop.<\/p>\n Stir in the okra and cook the soup 15 to 20 minutes longer or until the chunks of beef and the vegetables are tender. Discard the bay leaf before serving.<\/p>\n Store leftover vegetable beef soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.<\/p>\n Vegetable beef soup freezes exceptionally well, making it a delicious make-ahead meal. Be sure to follow best practices for freezing soup<\/a>, though: Cool the soup to room temperature, transfer it to a freezer-safe container and then stick it in the refrigerator to bring the temperature down before freezing. This will ensure the soup freezes evenly and doesn’t get mushy when it thaws. Vegetable beef soup will keep in the freezer for up to three months.<\/p>\n Reheat your soup on the stovetop or in the microwave. If you’re reheating frozen soup, put it straight into a stockpot and let it melt slowly over low heat. Or thaw your soup overnight in the refrigerator for a speedier cooking time.<\/p>\n There are several ways to thicken a sauce<\/a> or soup. The easiest is to let the soup simmer a bit longer to allow the liquid to evaporate. You can also make a cornstarch slurry and add it towards the end of cooking time.<\/p>\n We love a good slow-cooker soup recipe! To make vegetable beef soup in a slow cooker, you basically just dump everything in a Crockpot, set it to low and cook for several hours, like this slow-cooker vegetable beef soup.<\/a> If you make a beef vegetable soup with ground beef (a quick and easy alternative!), brown the meat first, like in this slow-cooked beef vegetable soup<\/a>.<\/p>\n Crusty bread is the best side for hearty vegetable beef soup. Think crusty French bread<\/a> or sourdough bread<\/a>. You can also pair the dish with a side salad<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A bounty of fresh and frozen veggies, from carrots and potatoes to green beans and okra, and
