As soon as the weather starts to turn cool John and I immediately start getting excited about soup weather! I like to make soup about once a week for dinner and have perfected this Veggie Beef soup over the years. We come back to it week after week and have never gotten tired of it!
I like to use a mix of canned and frozen vegetables in this soup, but you could really use any that you have on hand! The biggest trick is to make sure the potatoes are cooked long enough so that they’re nice and soft.
I recommend cooking for 7 hours on low. However, I’ve also included instructions for cooking on high or on the stovetop for a shorter amount of time.
One of the tricks that makes this soup so delicious is browning the beef and onions with hot sauce. I’m not a huge fan of spicy soup, but trust me the hot sauce doesn’t add heat. It helps to tenderize the meat and pack in lots of flavor that makes this soup so savory!
I hope you’ll enjoy this Veggie Beef soup as much as we do! It’s an easy weeknight soup that can be easily customized for whatever veggies are available! I’d love to know what changes you make in the comments below!

Notes
- The red pepper flakes and hot sauce don’t make the soup spicy, but rather add flavor to the beef and keep it tender. If you wanted to leave it out you could.
- Recipe can be made over the stove. Brown the beef and onion in a large pot. Then add other ingredients and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat. Simmer for about 20 minutes until potatoes are tender.
