Warm-up with this Filling Vegetable Beef Soup

We make soups as a meal often at our house.  Hearty soups like this Vegetable Beef Soup make a great meal because they are filling and can be adjusted for many tastes.  With vegetable soups, you can add your favorite vegetables to come up with endless combinations and flavors.

I suppose many folks think that soups are more of a winter food for when it’s cold.  We live in Florida, its always warm.  We enjoy soups year round.  Soups make a great meal and they are usually fast to prepare (a great bonus for busy moms).

Instructions:

You can adjust this recipe many different ways.  You can add different vegetables (such as spinach, cabbage, kale or any favorite family vegetable).  You can also try different beans.  I used black beans in this recipe, but you could also try kidney beans or garbanzo beans.  Feel free to try mixing different vegetables and beans based on your family’s individual tastes.
