Hearty Beef Vegetable Soup

By andre

Walking home in sub zero temperatures will chill you to your bones, and this is precisely what happened last night.  I knew I had a few hours of prep time to play with as Melanie was working late, so I quickly decided to get a warm pot of soup done up for her arrival.

The soup was actually simple to put together, we actually had everything on hand, and add to that a warm piece of french bread and you’ve got nostalgia in a bowl (well, for me at least!  If only I had a fireplace where I could hang my feet near…)

Regardless, this soup will warm you on the coldest winter days!  Read on past the jump for my ingredient list, which you can fully modify to your liking, and my basic instructions!  15 minutes to prepare and about 60 to cook….perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon!
