Ginger's Soul Comfort Soup (Vegetable-Beef)

"This soup is very comforting as well as tasty and full of vegetables. Great for those cold winter days or those suffering from or recovering from a cold. It's also good just any ol' time! It freezes reasonably well, though the potatoes get an odd texture to me after doing so. This recipe makes plenty soup, so don't be stingy! Get a second bowl, or give some to a close friend or family member to try, or try freezing some if you like!"

  • Mix all together well.
  • Simmer on medium-low heat for 2 hours.
  • Break spaghetti noodles in half and add to soup.
  • Mix in well, noodles will absorb soup juices, so you may need to add a little water as the noodles cook to compensate.

  1. Make soup to take for lunches and was looking for a good vegetable one. This one fits. Easily adaptable to whatever vegetables you have on hand, I substitued canned carrots for the fresh and macaroni noodles for spaghetti... As stated, this recipe makes a BIG batch of soup!
     
  2. We love this soup! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it's not quite like my mother's. (Can you ever match your mother's?)
     
  3. For a smaller amount of soup, (3-5 servings) try substituting the assorted canned vegetables for two cans Veg-All and reducing other ingredients to 1/4 stated in recipe. Use 1 cup beef broth, 2 cups water, one 15-oz. can diced tomatoes, one 15-oz. can tomato sauce, and 1-1 1/2 lbs. ground chuck. Reduce seasonings to 1 tsp. onion powder, 1/4 tsp. garlic powder, 1/2 tsp. seasoned salt, 1 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. black pepper.
