Question

I am looking for an Old Fashioned Recipe for Beef Vegetable Soup, one that can be cooked in a large pot, *not a slow cooker*, and can make a lot as well that can be frozen for later useage.

Answer 1

When I make veggie beef soup it's pretty basic:

I would start off with stew meat or a nice and fatty roast. Either way you do want a fatty cut of beef other wise it will get dry.

Add:

Choped carrots

peeled and chopped potatoes

garlic finely chopped

onions choped

celery chopped

canned stewed tomatoes

beef broth

celery salt

onion powder

granulated garlic

bay leaves

seasoned salt

pepper

Brown the beef, and the garlic. Then add the remaining veggies, and beef broth. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer for a coule of hours.

Don't add anything salty until the end as it may make the beef tender.

Answer 2

This is how I always make my beef vegetable soup.  I usually start with leftover pot roast & those veggies.  If I have not had that, I put a chuck roast in a large pot & brown on both sides.  Add 1 can tomato juice or V8.  Rinse out can & add that water to the pot.  Add whatever veggies you like.  I use diced potatoes, carrots, corn, green beans, peas.  For simplicities sake, I will often get a bag of stew or soup veggies - I like the ones that also have okra in them as well.  Then add salt, pepper, garlic powder, a pinch of cayenne.  I will cook the soup all day until the meat is falling apart.  Sometimes, about an hour before serving, I'll add some shredded cabbage.  Taste before serving to see if you need to add anymore salt or pepper.  It's easier if using the leftover roast, because the meat is already cooked.  If I'm starting fresh, I'll usually let the meat cook for a few hours before adding the veggies.  

Answer 3

1 chuck roast

2 lg cans of tomato

2 bags of frozen veggies

4 lg potatoes cut into bite size pieces

1 32oz beef stock

1 32oz chicken stock

Throw the stock and meat into the pot and let it cook for about 1 hour to 90 min.  Throw everything else in the pot, and cook till potatoes are soft.

The meat will be so tender it's falling apart.

Serve with crusty bread.
