    Great start, but I would start out with a diced yellow onion, and a few cloves of garlic sauteed. Then add barley instead of potatoes and V8 juice for the broth. More heart healthy that way! Oh, and fresh mushrooms!! - 3/6/09

    I make a similar soup, adding 1 chopped medium yellow onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, red pepper flakes, and fresh cracked black pepper to taste, and a pinch of thyme. (This works with Chicken/chicken broth as well as with beef.) - 5/2/08

    On the one hand, this soup can be made with all fresh ingredients, nothing canned, no preservatives or chemicals. That's good.

    OTOH, no herbs or spices, much too bland. I'd suggest a bay leaf, maybe some thyme, some pepper, and herbs of your choice. - 8/31/09

    For anyone on a low sodium diet due to heart problems, the sodium content in this soup is much too high, i would still give it a try, but i'd try to lower the sodium. - 8/31/09

    Great start, I add onions, garlic, peppers and celery when cooking my beef in the crock pot. After tossing the mixture in the fridge over night, it is very easy to remove the fat from the homemade stock, stick it all back in the crockpot with a bay leaf and whatever other spices are handy! - 11/9/09

    My girlfriend uses cabbage in her veggie soup, but instead of that I throw in frozen lima beans & peas(cuts down on the salt intake) and use browned lean ground turkey instead of the beef!! I also use the Low Sodium V8 juice to make it more heart healthy!! - 3/15/09

    I do a similar soup, but I use fat free beef base . If I have any left over beef I add that without the fat .and also chopped onion. Also if I have any left over veggies in the fridge I throw them in at the end.. - 12/3/08

    Sounds good. Instead of the cabbage I would add a bag of broccoli slaw. Also, I like a little summer savory in my veggie soup. - 8/31/09

    I make a similar soup with leftover roast beef or ground beef.I call it refrigerator soup, because whatever veggies are left in the refrigerator get tossed in with a little bit of pasta. The kiddos love it. Soup weather is arriving here in Vermont. - 8/31/09

    sounds yummy & very similar to what I already do with 'cleaning out the fridge' of the last few days worth of meat/vegges ..it all goes in a pot with enough extra liquid to cover, simmer on low or leave in a crockpot for a few hours on low - 8/31/09
