A delicious beef and vegetable soup that is a variation on the okra and tomato-based soup my great-grandmother used to make on the farm in Alabama.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 cups chopped tomatoes
2 cups lima beans
2 cups chopped okra
2 cups chopped red potatoes
1 cup corn
1 cup green beans
1/2 cup chopped carrots
4 cups chicken stock
1 pound ground beef
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 tablespoon celery salt
1/2 tablespoon onion powder
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed, or more to taste
3 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Step 1 Combine tomatoes, lima beans, okra, potatoes, corn, green beans, carrots, and tomato paste in a large soup pot. Pour chicken stock over mixture and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer until vegetables begin to soften, about 15 minutes. AdvertisementStep 2 Season ground beef with garlic powder, celery salt, and onion powder. Set aside.Step 3 Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic when butter stops bubbling; cook and stir for 1 minute. Spread ground beef evenly in the pan. Cook until it has a nice brown sear, stirring minimally to end up with mostly medium-sized chunks, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain skillet and add beef, onions, and garlic to the soup pot.Step 4 Bring soup mixture to a boil; reduce heat to simmer, cover, and cook until vegetables and beef have cooked down, 1 to 2 hours.Source: allrecipes.com
