For me, it's difficult to imagine vegetable beef soup tasting wrong. And yet what comes out of can is often wrong for some reason. Canned soups seem to rely on tomatoes, which can make the soup more acidic than necessary. Either beef or turkey burger can be used. Vegetable beef soup uses up leftover bits of vegetables, or brings life back formerly wilted fresh produce. Allow to simmer for part of the day. Filling the icy winter chill with the aroma of good food, combining healing properties. Pick your favorite vegetables, and enjoy the warmth they create in your life!
