This soup has become one of my favorites. It’s loaded with flavor and so simple to make. Vegetable Beef Soup is more than just a simple vegetable soup. Vegetable Soup is loaded with veggies and flavor, but when you add beef, it becomes even more hearty and filling.

How to make Vegetable Beef Soup:

Start by cooking your ground beef and onions in a large soup pot. Once it is cooked drain any excess fat or liquid. Add all the remaining ingredients to the pot and bring to a boil. Allow the soup to simmer for about 20 to 30 minutes. Serve with some Mini Cornbread Muffins and enjoy!

  • Beef Broth – I used low sodium beef broth for this recipe.
  • Frozen Mixed Vegetables – frozen vegetables work great for this recipe, but you can dice fresh veggies if you want.

Directions

Step One: Start by heating the oil in a large pot. Add in ground beef and onions and cook and crumble.

Garlic can quickly burn. Adding the garlic once the beef is cooked and only cooking it for a short time will help prevent burning.

  1. Made this Vegetable Beef Soup last night and shared it with some friends. They all gave it a high five.

    1. They are in the recipe card, you passed them on the way to the comments. But if you have trouble you can click jump to recipe at the top of the page.

  2. Tried this recipe tonight for the first time and it was delicious! I used the exact ingredients and feel it didnโ€™t need anything else! Very easy to put together. I used my crockpot and cooked for 5 hours on low. Will definitely make again! I served with rustic ciabatta bread.

  3. This is a great recipe to make in bulk. I am making it X 5 for a soup kitchen meal that our church provides. Easy ingredients to shop for! Thanks!

  4. I love the tomato sauce in this recipe. I have used tomato soup when I donโ€™t have sauce. And I add turmeric! It gives it a little richer deeper taste! This recipe is so easy and such a great base that I make it 2x a month! I add things like potatoes, once brown rice and today I am using ground venison!

  5. I loved this Vegetable beef Soup. I love recipes like this that have very few ingredients.
    I need to make some chicken recipes. I do have some. I only like chicken breasts so I will look for your chicken recipes to try. Thank you

  6. I hate when people change a recipe and then rate it. I really didn’t want to make a comment because I did change it to suit me and what I had on hand. However, I think this is a very good & easy recipe. I added celery, carrots & garlic to start the soup as I would usually do to make soup. I used sausage & fennel seeds in place of the ground beef. I used the whole carton of beef broth because we like it soupier. Very nice recipe. Thanks for sharing.
