'My old fashioned vegetable beef soup with beef shank and beef soup bone recipe is easy and comforting. Worcestershire sauce, tomato juice, onion soup mix, and spices make this delicious, and frozen mixed vegetables make this recipe super easy. Although this southern style soup has a reputation for being a bit bland, my version is full of flavor. If you want to learn how to make the best vegetable beef soup recipe on the Internet, this is it! This old fashioned vegetable beef soup recipe starts with beef shank. Most people use stew meat or ground beef in this soup, but I think that beef shank and beef soup bone add a depth of flavor that meat without the bone does not. I first browned the beef shank and beef soup bone on both sides, then sautéed carrot celery, onion, and a bit of garlic in the fat. Once the fresh vegetables were browned, I poured in a 28 oz can of crushed tomato. Although most people use tomato juice in this recipe, I didn\'t have any, so I used what I had on hand. This old fashioned southern vegetable beef soup is meant to be easy and affordable, so feel free to use what you have. I then returned the beef shank and beef soup bone to the pot, added homemade vegetable stock, and a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce to bring out the beefy flavor. I cooked the soup for a bit, then tasted it again: it definitely needed more Worcestershire sauce, as well as a packet of onion soup mix. After tasting it again, I added a mix of spices to the vegetable beef soup such as garlic powder, onion powder, and basil. Even though southern vegetable beef soup has a reputation for being a bit bland, I was determined to make my recipe different. About half an hour to 45 minutes before serving, it is time to add two pounds of vegetables. I used a combination of potato, celery, and a bag of mixed frozen vegetables, but you can use whatever vegetables you have. Like I said, this soup is meant to be easy to make. You have to cook beef shank a long time, at least 2 hours, before it starts to fall apart. I was a bit pressed for time, so even though I was able to use my spoon to break up the beef shank and beef soup bone meat into smaller chunks, I fished out some larger chunks and cut them into smaller pieces. That way, I would have small pieces of beef distributed throughout the vegetables in the soup. If you want beef shank to fall apart into small pieces on its own, it needs to cook for about 3 hours. This old fashioned vegetable beef soup looked great, the red broth and colorful vegetables making this look fantastic. When I tried the soup, I realized that it tasted just as good as it looked. This southern vegetable beef soup was full of beef and vegetable flavor. The Worcestershire sauce intensified the beef flavor while the onion soup mix and summery spices brought out the vegetable flavor. Honestly, I was impressed by how \"beefy\" and \"vegetably\" this soup tasted: it definitely tasted like its name. Although I usually add sugar to tomato-based recipes, I did not add any to this soup, and I am glad I didn\'t. The fact that this was very savory and not sweet at all definitely emphasized the vegetable and beef flavors. My old fashioned vegetable soup with beef shank recipe is easy to make, but it is important to keep the cook time in mind. If you want the meat to fall off the bone and break apart into small pieces, the beef shank needs to cook for about 3 hours. Although using ground beef in this soup recipe would make the recipe a lot faster, beef shank is worth the wait. Also, Worcestershire sauce is salty, so there is no need to add extra salt. If you use storebought vegetable stock, be sure to buy no sodium stock. Otherwise, your soup may be too salty. As I said, my old fashioned vegetable beef soup with beef shank recipe was delicious. The Worcestershire sauce, onion soup mix, and frozen vegetables really made this soup special. A bowl of this would be perfect on a cold winter night, so if you want southern style comfort food, definitely make this soup!See also:
