Homemade Vegetable Beef Soup
Homemade Vegetable Beef Soup

Who doesn’t love Homemade Vegetable Beef Soup? Comfort food at it’s best! This soup is loaded with carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, rice macaroni, lentils, frozen beans, corn and fresh spinach.

I used my homemade Beef Broth which was delicious by itself. Here’s the link for the beef Broth: https://the2spoons.com/essential-easy-homemade-beef-bone-stock/. This beef broth was made from roasting bones along with onions, carrots and garlic. I dumped those ingredients into a stick pot, covered with water and cooked for hours.

When I was making the beef broth, I set the Instant Pot for 2 hours. After the 2 hours I quick released the steam and removed the bones. When they were cool enough to handle, I removed the meat from the bones to use in the soup and returned the bones to cook for an additional 4 hours.

I used Mutti tomatoes because they are a great product. Here’s a link if you aren’t familiar. https://amzn.to/2U2h7Fg. These tins of tomatoes are pure tomatoes, with a wonderful flavor. They are actually from Italy. I can find them at my local HEB, but I don’t see them at all grocery stores. They are a little more expensive, but not expensive as other Italian tomatoes I’ve seen.
