It&#8217;s really all about taking your time and letting the soup cook to allow the flavors to blend together.  <\/p>\n<p>We make our beef vegetable soup completely from scratch.  There&#8217;s no need for any of those kits from the grocery store. All you really need is to plan ahead, and make a beef broth first.  Patience is called for in making this soup.  So about 6 hours before serving, place 4 large beef soup bones in a large stockpot, and cover with water.  Place over medium heat and begin to heat to a boil.<\/p>\n<p>While the water is heating, dice up a large onion, and 1 1\/2 cups of celery.  Toss the onion and celery in the pot, cover, and bring to a boil.  Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat, and simmer, covered, for about 2 hours [longer is better].<\/p>\n<p>Using a set of tongs, remove the bones from the pot and place on a dinner plate.  Allow to cool 5 minutes or more, or until you can handle.  Scrape any marrow from the bones onto the dinner plate, and discard the bones. Add the marrow back to the stockpot.<\/p>\n<p>Add the following to the pot:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1\/2 pound of baby carrots (cut in half, if desired)\n<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 tsp <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spiceplace.com\/durkee_herb_whole_thyme_leaves.php\">thyme leaves<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 tsp <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spiceplace.com\/durkee_herb_rosemary_leaves.php\">rosemary leaves<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li>2 cloves garlic, minced\n<\/li>\n<li>1 tbsp parsley flakes\n<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper\n<\/li>\n<li>3 medium sized turnips, peeled and diced (about 2 1\/2 &#8211; 3 cups)\n<\/li>\n<li>1 can diced tomatoes\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Cover, bring to a boil, and simmer.  Meanwhile, cut up a about 1 to 1 1\/2 pounds of chuck roast into 3\/4 inch chunks.  Cook the beef chuck  roast chunks in a covered, non-stick skillet, turning often, until cooked through.  Use a slotted spoon to remove the beef, and add to the stock pot.  Simmer the vegetable soup for 1 1\/2 hours, then add:<br \/>\n 2 cups frozen lima beans<br \/>\n1 cup egg noodles<\/p>\n<p>Cook for another 15 minutes.  Remove from heat, and allow to cool a little before serving.  Serve with buttered toasted sourdough bread, or piping hot biscuits.  You can add salt to the served bowls of Beef Vegetable Soup but we don&#8217;t find it necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Refrigerate any left over Beef Vegetable Soup, and add a little water when reheating.  Beef vegetable soup always tastes better the next day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s nothing secret to making a good homemade beef vegetable soup.
