Grammas Vegetable Soup Recipes

Steps:

• In a large pot over medium heat, melt butter. Cook onion, carrots and celery until onion is translucent. Stir in tomatoes with their juice, salt, pepper, parsley, soy sauce, Worcestershire and paprika. Pour in beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes, until vegetables are tender and flavors are well blended.

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.
• 6. Lower the heat and cook until veggies and cabbage are tender and the macaroni is cooked but not mushy, @ 15-20 minutes.

Steps:

• I do this the same way every time, in the order listed. Any other way and some veggies will overcook too much: In a large stock pot, heat oil over medium heat. Season roast with S & P, garlic & onion powders. Brown on both sides. Add enough water to just barely cover meat, probably about 4 cups. Add beef cubes, 1 per cup of water plus 2 more. Yes this seems strong but it will season the meat and won't be strong later. Bring to a boil, COVER and simmer on medium low til meat is getting ready to fall apart, probably at least an hour. Remove meat to a plate to cool. To broth, add onions, celery, cabbage and V8. Bring back to a boil, cover again and let simmer til cabbage is almost tender, probably about 45 minutes. Then add potatoes, carrots, green beans, lima beans, peas, beans and tomatoes, all with juices from the cans. Bring back to a boil, cover again and simmer about 15 minutes. While that is cooking, in a small saucepan cook your macaroni and rinse under cool water. Pinch up the meat on the plate into bite sized pieces. Check seasoning in the soup, you will probably need about 1 t. salt (at least) and 1/2 t. pepper. At this point it is probably getting thick, so make another few cups of beef broth (1c/1cube). Add in can of corn, with juice, meat, and drained macaroni,(these 3 always last so they don't overcook) stirring well. If it's thick, add in some broth and a few tablespoons of vegetable oil, again stirring well. Turn off heat and let rest for a few minutes. Stir well before serving. It should be orangish in color and have tiny little oil beads floating on top that makes it look sparkley. The next day to reheat leftovers, add in a couple more cups of broth as the veggies tend to soak up broth overnight in the fridge. A little more oil, a small can of tomato sauce, salt and pepper probably wouldn't hurt either.

Steps:

• In a large pot over medium heat, melt butter and saute carrots, celery and onion until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the flour to the vegetables and blend well. Cook the flour until it achieves a slight blonde color. Next, stir in the tomato paste and allow to slightly cook, about 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in vegetable broth while stirring and bring soup to a boil. Reduce heat and add the can of diced tomatoes and the potatoes. Simmer until potatoes are cooked through, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the peanut oil in an electric fryer or large pan fitted with deep-fry thermometer to 325 degrees F. In a large casserole dish, mix together flour, and season with salt and pepper. Dredge chops in flour mixture, patting excess off. Place chops, 2 at time, in fryer and cook until cooked through, about 6 minutes. Cool slightly and remove to a paper towel lined sheet tray.
• Add the cooked chops to soup and simmer another 30 minutes, or until the meat falls off the bone. During the last 10 minutes of cooking, add the corn, peas, and green beans. Ladle soup into individual bowls, top with a pork chop and sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:

• Stir the beef broth, carrots, celery, parsley, celery seed, and bay leaves into a slow cooker set on High, cover, and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 2 hours.
• Place the ground beef, onion, and garlic into a skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently to break the beef into small pieces, until the onion is translucent and the beef is browned and no longer shows pink areas, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain off fat, and stir the stewed tomatoes into the beef mixture. Bring to a boil over medium heat, and cook, stirring frequently, until the tomatoes are broken up into small pieces.
• Stir the potatoes, corn, green beans, and peas into the soup in the slow cooker, and add the beef mixture. Stir everything together, cover, and set the slow cooker on High. Cook for 4 hours.
