Homemade Vegetable Beef Soup.

I ate this soup.  In fact, I ate a LOT of this soup.

As most of you reading this were in the same boat as I, last week was a torrent of winter weather.  Snow was forecasted, kids came home early from school, spouses were home in advance of the impending storm.

  So…I said I wanted Vegetable Beef Soup, and vegetable soup I made.

Deep inside, only my mom makes a great vegetable soup, so, I wasn’t expecting much.  As it turns out…I did very well.

This recipe was so hearty – huge chunks of potatoes and carrots, lots of corn and peas, and the beef?  Ever so tender and full of flavor.  We added a healthy dose of sriracha, and that amped up a nice lip tingle after the bowl was emptied.

Good stuff.

My mom?  Well, her soup is still the soup of my childhood, and it will always make me feel good.  But this?  This soup ranks up there with some of the best I’ve ever had. 

Now you can make it, too.  Enjoy!
