OLD FASHIONED VEGETABLE BEEF SOUP

Steps:

• Heat butter in a dutch oven or large pot over high heat. Add stew meat and sear so that outside edges are brown, turning over as needed to brown all sides of the meat. Add diced onion to saute while searing the beef. Continually stir onions to prevent sticking. Cook for about 3 minutes total.*If finishing in a slow cooker, transfer both onions and beef to your crockpot set on low once fully seared.
• Add mixed vegetables, cubed potatoes (I leave the skin on like my grandma did for extra vitamins and flavor but you can peel them if you prefer), diced tomatoes, beef broth, beef bullion, Worcestershire sauce, and bay leaves.
• Bring to a boil then reduce heat to a low boil. Cook for 20 minutes or until potatoes are soft all the way through. Add salt and pepper to taste before serving.*If using a crockpot, cook for 1 hour on high (or 2 hours on low). Check potatoes to be sure they are fully cooked through, then serve.

GRANDMA'S VEGETABLE SOUP

Steps:

• 1. In a large soup pot, place potatoes, onion, celery, tomatoes, chopped garlic and water or vegetable stock (enough to cover vegetables by 2 inches).
• 2. Add the soup spices to pot. Stir to combine.
• 3. Cover and bring soup to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and continue simmering.
• 4. While this is simmering, prepare ground beef by crumbling it into a large skillet, seasoning it with garlic salt and cumin and cooking until it is no longer pink. Drain off the excess fat and add the beef to the simmering pot. Cover and continue simmering.
• 5. After @ 30-45 minutes, add the mixed vegetables, okra, cabbage and macaroni to the soup pot. Add more vegetable broth if needed so you will have plenty of soup stock.
