Homemade Vegetable Beef Soup Recipe

Homemade Vegetable Beef Soup

Soup is one of my favorite dump dishes, especially on a cold, winter day. My hearty and filling homemade vegetable beef soup serves up to 8 people. For families of 3 or 4, this is a great leftover meal, saving both time and money. Prepped and ready in under an hour. Enjoy!
