HEARTY BEEF AND VEGETABLE SOUP

HEARTY BEEF AND VEGETABLE SOUP image

This is a very hearty beef and vegetable soup recipe. It is designed to be cooked in a 4 1/2 gallon counter top roaster. It freezes well so making a big batch lasts most of the cold season. Guaranteed to warm your bones on a cold winter evening!
