Vegetable Beef Soup...

Source: Jim Mixson



About 1# lean beef, in 1/4 inch cubes...London broil is good

2 cans beef broth

1 can sweet green peas

1 can green baby limas

1 can whole kernal corn

1 can diced carrots or about 12 oz. fresh babies sliced

1/2 C dried mushrooms or 1 7 oz.can bits and pieces

1/2-3/4 C chopped onion

1 T butter

1 T worscestershire sauce

1 t granulated garlic

About 1 t bacon drippings

Sweet mesquite seasoning as needed

Olive oil as needed

JGM mix as needed (my mix...see JGM Mix)



In a large sauce pan or dutch oven, start with bacon drippings; add beef broth and all 

vegetables. Bring to slow boil. Season with JGM mix, worcestershire sauce and granulated 

garlic to taste.

Sautee onions in butter and olive oil and add to vegetable mix.

Brown beef in olive oil (seasoned with JGM mix and sweet mesquite seasoning); add to 

vegetable mix.

Simmer on low heat, just barely a boil...at least a hour or so. The longer the better.



Serve with buttered cornbread or biscuits. The "Jiffy" brand corn muffin mix is superb

done in a small cast iron skillet. Biscuits? Homemade if you're up to it; Pillsbury

canned if not.



NB: I've not tried it but I suspect once down to the long simmering, a slow cooker would

be great.
