    • Reviews

  • “Really good and filling.I added a full small can of tomato paste, a real flavor booster and some more beef broth/water to dilute it.I served it with grated parmesan on top.”

  • “We loved this hearty soup. For the vegetables I used some baby carrots I needed to use up and frozen peas and corn. I reduced the amount of cayenne to make it not quite as spicy, and that was perfect for us. Thanks for a terrific soup to make again and again.”

  • “This was fantastic! I wanted a filling meal that would be ready as my guests arrived at various times (on the same day) for the holidays. It was a perfect meal with warm bread and the leftovers freeze like a dream! I will make this often.”

  • “This was good soup.I used this recipe as a base for the flavor but substitued about half a can of tomato paste for the tomatoes because my family doesn’t like cooked tomatoes and then cut up big chunks of carrots and potatoes instead of using the frozen mixed veggies.Also, I did not add the pasta because we didn’t want that.The spice was nice and the soup had pretty good flavor.It went over well and I will probably make this again some time.”

  • “I was looking for a beef vegetable soup today, and the “Spicy” caught my eye. A wonderful soup on a dank February day! I made no changes, but a few additions. I increased the beef to 1 1/2 pounds, used a large can of tomatoes since it wasn’t specified,(and I like a lot of tomatoes)and a small can of tomato paste. Also added a half of a cabbage head, chopped, some frozen baby lima beans, and I had a couple red potatoes I didn’t use yesterday, so I diced those and threw them in.We put grated Parmesan on our bowls of soup, and the onlysuggestion I got from the Family Unit was they wanted more pasta in it. I will DEFINITELY make this soup again.Thanks!”

  • “This was very good with a bright blend of flavors.I used Miller’s Homemade Beef Stock (#23285) as a base and substituted some fresh veggies for the frozen, but I liked the blend of spices, especially the cayenne.A nice, filling cold day soup!Thanks, Meowna!”
