This hearty beef and vegetable stew is a comforting and delicious meal that's perfect for a cold day. The recipe is versatile, allowing you to add or omit vegetables based on your preference. I love letting the tomato juice cook down to a thicker consistency, but you can always adjust it with more water or tomato juice. Serve it with bread and butter for an added treat!

How to make Hearty Beef & Vegetable Soup

Cooking Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a large pot, place the beef stew meat, onions, and celery. Add enough water to cover the ingredients. Bring to a boil and cook until the meat is tender.

  2. Step 2

    Add all the other vegetables to the pot and cover them with tomato juice. Cover the pot and bring to a boil.

  3. Step 3

    Reduce the heat, uncover the pot, and allow the soup to cook while stirring frequently. The soup can be eaten whenever the vegetables are tender, but it is best if you let it cook down for a while. Stir frequently to avoid burning.
