Grandma Brauns Vegetable Soup Recipes

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:

• Crumble the ground beef into a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until no longer pink. Drain off grease and pour in the tomato juice. Add the onion, carrot, and potato. Pour in the entire contents of the cans of corn and green beans. Season with ginger, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to low and let simmer 1 hour.
