Mom's Vegetable Soup image

Feel free to "tweek" as you wish. Add pasta or other ingredients. I've added chopped cabbage and it came out pretty good! Mac or rice is another good addition- just be sure not to add too much. Try adding different Mrs. Dash seasonings. My favorites are Table Blend and Garlic and Herb. Don't forget, when you do...

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 lb beef stew or 2 lbs fresh neck bones or ox tails
2 16 oz pkg frozen vegetables for soup or mixed vegetables
4 medium size potatoes peeled, cubed
1 large onion chopped in medium pieces or however you prefer
2 14.5 oz can(s) diced or stewed tomatoes
1 14.5 oz can(s) oz can tomato sauce
1 - 16 oz can(s) can tomato paste
2 tsp seasoning salt
2 tsp pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp accent
1 tsp mrs. dash - original blend
1/2 c okra, sliced into ½
1 c frozen whole kernel corn or 1-14.5 oz can whole kernel corn (optional)
1 c frozen green beans or 1-14.5 oz can cut green beans (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Place meat in a large stock pot or Dutch oven. If using stew beef, brown meat first in a small amount of cooking oil. Add enough water to cover meat by at least 2 inches. Add seasonings. Cover and bring to boil; lower heat to medium low. Cook stew beef and neck bones approximately ½ - 1 hour (meat should be just fork tender); ox tails will need to be cooked a whole lot longer, approximately 2-3 hours until tender; add water as necessary.
  • 2. Stir in tomato paste until dissolved. Add all other ingredients. Cover and return to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook another ½ hour or until all vegetables are done.
  • 3. Add more seasoning to your taste if needed.
