Notes for mak­ing easy beef veg­etable soup from left­overs

What

Beef veg­etable soup made from left­over roast beef and frozen veg­eta­bles

Ingredients

Beef, frozen soup veg­eta­bles, red pota­toes, toma­toes, toma­to paste, gar­lic, chick­en broth, bar­ley, salt, pep­per, herb de Provence, salt, pep­per, sug­ar, mus­tard, red wine, Worces­ter­shire sauce

Time

~35–50 min­utes in a Dutch oven, depend­ing on how much you’re mak­ing and if you’re using fresh ingre­di­ents or not

Steps

• Pre­pare the beef by cut­ting into chunks. Whether fresh or cooked, the steps remain the same
• Heat some veg­etable oil
• Add diced/cut onions and gar­lic (I use squeez­able gar­lic for even eas­i­er cook­ing) and cook until onions are translu­cent
• Add the beef (I hap­pened to have a rib roast rib bone and put that in there, too)
• Add sea­son­ings to taste
• Add any fresh veg­eta­bles after prep­ping them
• Add ¹⁄₂ to ³⁄₄ of frozen veg­eta­bles
• Add bar­ley
• Pour in car­ton of chick­en broth (or beef broth)
• Taste to make sure you like it
• Cov­er with lid, low­er tem­per­a­ture
• When things are boil­ing, taste test again
• Add remain­ing soup veg­eta­bles (this allows some of the veg­eta­bles to look more appeal­ing)
• Let sim­mer
• Taste again
• Let sit for about 10 min­utes or so. This will allow the fla­vor to get stronger.
• In the mean­time, pre­pare the rest of the foods. Rice, bread…whatever you want.

Done!
