Beef and Vegetable Soup Recipe
Beef and Vegetable Soup Recipe: this homemade version of your favourite thick and chunky soup is delicious and easy to make.
This beef and vegetable soup recipe is nice and thick and hearty. It’s almost a stew. It reminds me of the canned chunky soup my mom used to buy when I was a kid. This homemade version is easy to put together and the perfect meal with some delicious fresh bread.
I was inspired by our Snow White themed dinner and movie night to make it -you can read all about it here. In the film Snow White finds the cabin in the woods and assumes it’s the home of seven children, without a mother to cook and clean for them. Her and her animal friends set about cleaning and cooking dinner. The meal she make them is a hearty soup boiling away over the fire in a large pot. We don’t get to know what kind of soup it is, but I imagine it’s something nice and thick and hearty like our beef and vegetable soup recipe.

A lot of people add tomato paste to a soup like this, but I much prefer it with just the beef flavour, so I’m sharing my beef and vegetable soup recipe without tomato paste. You could add some if you miss it. Adding in the red wine helps add a real depth to the flavour of the soup, and a richness. And don’t worry all the alcohol burns off as it cooks.
Any stewing beef will work in the this recipe. I used a outside round roast, and cut it up for mine.
