Beef and Vegetable Soup image

On the cooler nights of spring, it's heartwarming to enjoy a bowl of hot, homemade soup like this one from our Test Kitchen. It's easy to make, using convenience foods like canned tomatoes and frozen green beans. It's versatile, too. You can opt for chicken and chicken broth instead of beef and substitute your favorite veggies.
