Mine is really easy:

A frozen beef pot roast and any canned or frozen vegetables that I have in the house!!!

I usually try to include a finely diced onion and a can of Rotel tomatoes because I like the kick. A few more favorites are canned spinach, potatoes, corn, green beans and a little barley.

I just put the whole thing in the crockpot, cover with water and cook for the day. The meat shreds easily and leftovers freeze beautifully.

Enjoy!

Here's my tried and true recipe. Perfect for cold nights.

Stew Meat (I usually use about a pound but use as much or as little as you want)
13 cups water
1 big can of tomato juice
1 onion, sliced
4 t. salt
4 t. worchestershire sauce
1/2 t. chili powder
4 bay leaves
2 1/2 cups celery, chopped
2 1/2 cups carrots, chopped
2 1/2 cups potatos, cubed
2 1/2 cups cabbage, cubed

Lightly dust meat with flour and brown. In a large part, combine water, tomato juice, onion, meat, salt, worchestershire sauce, chili powder, and bay leaves. Simmer for approx 2 hours on low heat. Add vegetables and simmer about an hour more or until all vegetables are tender.

My mom always had one way of making veggie soup and I do it the same way. You can use a roast (just let it cook until its falling apart), stew meat, or ground beef (quickest).

brown the meat in dutch oven, add water (about half a pot), one onion and one bell pepper (cut in semi-large pieces). Let that boil until meat is tender (for ground beef, just boil to cook onion and pepper and to make a broth). Then add:

2 bags of frozen soup veggies
1 bag frozen lima beans
1 bag frozen corn
And any other frozen veggie you like (I sometimes put in okra, butter beans or field peas)

2 large cans of tomatoes (you can always add more if you like tomatoes)

salt and pepper to taste
1 bay leaf

cook until all the veggies are done.

Its easy, cheap and oh, so good on these cold days. I like to make a big pot and take some for lunch every day at work.

We used to make it this way for lunch for the kids in our child care center, but we added canned tomato soup to the meat with the water and didn't add okra. The kids loved it. We would have the soup and pb and j sandwiches--they would eat and eat!

ETA: the flavor comes mainly from the meat and the onion and bell pepper all cooked together. If using ground beef, the addition of the tomato soup is better because the meat doesn't have the same flavor as it does with stew meat or roast. I like it at home made with stew meat the best.

Vegetable Beef soup: Add all ingredients to Crock pot (5 qt) or can cook on the stove on med/low in a large pot until vegetables are tender:


1-1 1/2 lbs Browned ground beef (seasoned)

Two small bags of vegetables (use whatever kind of veggies you like, I like to use a bag of Kroger mixed vegetables and a bag of Kroger veg soup veggies)

2 Large cans of petite diced tomatoes

fill one of the tomato cans with water and add to other ingredients in crock pot


Add seasoning to taste, salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, parsley (I just add whatever I have on hand)



Cook on low all day................

I used to just love the vegetable beef soup at a local restaurant so I tried to recreate it at home. I came up with this recipe, and then when I went back to that restaurant and had theirs again, I preferred mine! It's an easy one and the family loves it.

Vegetable Beef Soup
stew meat cut up into small pieces.
chopped onion
chopped celery
1 can cream of celery soup
1 large can V8 juice
2-3 beef boullion cubes
1 family size package frozen mixed vegetables.

Brown meat, add onion and celery......drain.
Put in large dutch oven on stove.
add soup, mix together. rinse can with water and add.
add juice and boullion cubes.
add bag of frozen vegetables
Then I pretty much fill the pot as much as I can with water and just let it simmer for several hours, or until the vegetables are cooked.
I have used ground beef in this too if I did not have stew meat, it was the same good flavor, but prefer the stew meat in it.

1# ground beef(sometime I do 1/2 beef & half sausage)
1 small diced onion

Brown & Drain, I also rinse

Pot in big pot with
2 cans Ital stewd tomatoes
1 can mixed veggies-I use the veggall stew one-don't drain
2 can beef broth
1 can campbells double beef broth.

Simmer 20 mins add 1/2 c patsa cook 10 mins more, I have also dine this in the crockpot.

I like this one because it is easy to have the stuff for it on hand.

My Veggie soup is more like whatever left over in freezer soup.
Freeze leftovers and then when you have enough, toss into crock pot and FREE soup that is the best.

Save beef broth from a roast for base..
leftover corn, beans of any kind, carrots, okra, baked potaos diced, cooked potatoes, tomato sauces, diced onions, pieces of beef or hamburger..really what ever.

my mom adds cooked rice or cooked noodles as well.

I add an extra can of tomatos most of the time and whatever spices we want. Cook all day and delish and FREE (or almost).

I apologize for the lack of 'specifc measurements'..

1 pkg stew beef cut up into small pieces
1 small onion
1 small green pepper
potaotes peeled & diced (whatever you have..white, red, sweet pot)
1 bag frozen greenbeans
1 bag frozen carrots
beef broth / water
spices
ketchup
BBQ sauce

Coat the meat lightly in flour, salt and pepper. Brown in some oil. Remove from pan and add diced onion and pepper. Cook until soft. Deglaze pan with a little red wine or beef broth...add the meat back in. Add rest beef broth and some water if you need it..stir in about 1/4 cup of ketchup and 1/4 BBQ sauce. Add seasonings (which ever you prefer) depending on my mood I add some garlic powder, onion powder, italian seasoning, bay leaves, thyme..etc.... Bring to a boil. Add veggies ( i also throw in whatever open bags of veggies I have in my freezer..peas, squash, etc)...simmer until everything is done.

The ketchup and BBQ add a sweet and smokey taste and makes the broth really rich. I serve it with corn bread.

I make the parents magazine sirloin soup recipe but change it. I use whatever ground beef I have handy and I add canned potatoes to it.

I have to go off memory because they won't let me view the receipe anymore .

4 cups beef broth
worchishire sauce or a-1 sauce to taste
ground beef
carrots
peas
canned potatoes
1/4 cup of flour mixed in really well just to barely thicken things, it's a soup, not stew consistency

You can use a bag of your favorite frozen veggies, I just used canned for conveience. when using canned, I only use half the can of peas and half the can of carrots. I use the whole can of potatoes cut up.

Brown the ground beef in the bottom of the pot with an onion if you want to, I've made it with and without and the taste is very close. Then add the broth and everything else and simmer for a little while.

I just made the best soup I have ever made the day before yesterday. I just winged it, but it turned out great!

I bought three very large soup bones, the kind that have a lot of meat on them. (they looked like small steaks with the bone in the middle.) I roasted them in the oven with salt and pepper until they were brown on both sides. (this is key-the carmelization of the meat brings out the flavor). I put them in a large crock pot with two cans of beef broth and a can of diced tomatoes. I cut up a couple of potatoes and a small onion and let that cook for a few hours. Then I added a bag of soup vegetables (I like gumbo veggies because of the okra. I know most people don't eat okra, so just use a bag of mixed vegetables-corn, green beans, carrots.)

I let it cook for a couple of more hours and it was delicious! I even forgot the bay leaf and it was good.

Someone posted a quick Pasta Fagioli soup a few weeks ago. My family loved it, but I can't find the recipe. Can someone help me out? TIA

Something similar to what I make:
I use 3 times more meat diced, pre fry with olive oil, flour to coat, add onions, season.
Add to Dutch oven skillet, or crock pot.
Cover with water, then a box of beef stock if none frozen, I adjust the broth as needed for extras I put in.

A cup of barley, some ketchup 1/4 cup
What ever carrots on hand, frozen, fresh, canned, I smash the garlic cloves and add.

Orig. recipe.......
Ingredients
Serves 4
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 pound stew beef, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium-size yellow onion, coarsely chopped
2 medium carrots, cut into 1/4-inch coins
1 medium garlic clove, finely minced
6 cups Beef Stock, or low-sodium canned
1/4 cup barley, rinsed
tyme. parsley to taste.

Directions
1.In a 6-quart soup pot, heat 2 teaspoons of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the meat and brown evenly, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the meat to a paper towel-lined plate.
2.Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining oil and the onion and cook until the onion is soft and translucent, about 10 minutes, scraping the pot to loosen any brown bits.
3.Add the carrots and garlic and sweat 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add 1/2 cup of stock and scrape the bottom of the pot. Add the remaining stock, the meat, barley, and thyme and bring to a boil.
4.Reduce the heat and simmer, skimming the pot occasionally, until the barley is cooked and the meat is tender, about 50 minutes.
5.Ladle into deep bowls and serve, garnished with parsley.
