Matt's Veggie Soup

[Twitchin Kitten]

This is my other half's very own Vegetable Soup. I copied and pasted it and it's all in his own words.

Mind you, everything is to taste!

Matt's Veggie Soup

Ingredients:

1 beef bullion cube per cup of water or 1 cup of beef broth (the amount of broth made equals about 1 1/2 servings) plus 1 cup of water.

I actually double the broth just because I add so many Veggies!

carrots
potatoes
onions
celery
peas
beans
corn (all in moderation and to taste)
whole peeled tomatoes (again, depends on taste)

* Stewing beef cubes (optional! I know, this is supposed to be vegetable soup)

Tomato Juice - about 1/4 cup per cup of Beef Broth

salt
pepper
bay leaves
a pinch of cayenne (ever so slight of a pinch)



Directions:

If you are using the beef cubes, brown them first

Boil the broth/bullion mixture
add veggies (and beef cubes)
bring to a boil again
add tomato juice (slowly, to taste)
add spices to taste

I have to say, that this is just a rough guideline. I cook everything to my own tastes. so, as you add a spice or tomato juice or anything for that matter, you should do it to your own tastes.....I guess what I'm saying is...add anything and everything in small doses....


May not seem like much, but that is my Veggie Soup! Done right, it is extremely tasty and if made in abundance, it makes a great lunch for days!
