Schoolhouse Vegetable Soup
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt & Pepper as desired
- 28 oz diced tomatoes (not drained)
- 1 3/4 cups frozen mixed vegetables (frozen - no need to thaw) (I use a 12 Oz bag of frozen mixed vegetables)
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 5 cups water
- 3 beef bouillon cubes
- 1 cup uncooked elbow macaroni
Instructions:
Brown ground beef in a soup pot. Add salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder while cooking the meat. Drain if needed.
Add diced tomatoes including the juice in the can, frozen corn, and frozen mixed vegetables. Add the water and beef bouillon cubes. Stir.
Simmer about 15-20 minutes. I used a lid to cover while cooking.
Next, add 1 cup uncooked macaroni. Stir a bit. (It tries to stick to the bottom of the pot until it starts to simmer so may need to stir a few times.)
Simmer approximately 15-20 minutes or until macaroni is done.
Serve with crackers, corn muffins, biscuits, or grilled cheese sandwiches. Oh yea!
Hello everyone!
I have been craving vegetable soup! And not stew, but rich brothy soup! I made this last night for supper and it was perfect! Absolutely wonderful!
I've seen a version of this recipe on pinterest lately and it just kept calling my name. I had to try it.
I tweaked the original recipe just a tad by adding the frozen corn (which I love in vegetable soup because the homegrown taste of store bought frozen corn really adds something special) and the garlic powder (who can have soup without garlic?).
This recipe nailed it for me. I told my husband last night that it reminded me of being in the cafeteria at school, lined up waiting on a steaming bowl of delicious vegetable soup. Remember that one little packet of crackers you got and smashed until the cracker dust flew all over? LOL. Oh the days of fun in the cafeteria!
I wanted to "blog" this recipe so I would have it in the future.
I have a few other vegetable soup recipes on my blog. They are all delicious and have their own special place at the table.
Hamburger Soup (Spaghetti meets Vegetable Soup) is a family favorite! Loaded with italian spices and heady with garlic. Mmmm!
Homemade Alphabet Soup is my take on the canned favorite. It uses no meat and is great for lunch packing!
And now this Schoolhouse Vegetable Soup! It comes together speedy quick and can be made after work or school and served for a fast, weeknight supper. It will also be great for potlucks, family game night, and just making on Sunday for the week ahead.
This is a keeper recipe at my house and I wanted to share it with you!
Enjoy!
