Vegetable Beef Soup

Vegetable Beef Soup

Waste not, want not. I learned this lesson well! Every time I make Italian beef, I use the leftover broth to make vegetable beef soup. It’s a great way to add rich flavor to this classic soup … and not waste savory broth.

Vegetable Beef Soup

When I make soup, I make enough to last several days. I almost never have enough broth left from the Italian Beef to make enough vegetable beef soup to last that long. I add beef stock and a little red wine to the broth to extend the amount. The rest is easy … use whatever vegetables you have on hand, a little garlic, leftover Italian beef (this is actually venison, but either works!) if you have it, and you have a great soup to pair with a grilled cheese sandwich!

Incidentally, soup and grilled cheese is my favorite lunch in the winter.

This is my go-to vegetable beef soup, but you can mix it up however you like.
