Homemade Vegetable Beef Soup
This is a delicious vegetable beef soup recipe that my mom used to make when I was young. I have always loved her soups. When I was able to start cooking by myself, I made this my own by adding and taking items away. Now, my fiancé loves my soups too and he isn't even big on soups. I hope your family enjoys this as much as mine does.
