Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables:
- 1 large head cabbage, chopped
- 5 carrots, chopped
- 10 stalks celery, chopped
- 2 green bell peppers, diced
- 3 onions, chopped
Canned and Liquid Ingredients:
- 2 (16 ounces / 454 grams) cans whole peeled tomatoes, with liquid
- 2 quarts (1.89 liters) tomato juice
- 1 (15 ounces / 425 grams) can cut green beans, drained
- 1 (14 ounces / 397 grams) can beef broth
Seasoning:
- 1 (1 ounce / 28 grams) envelope dry onion soup mix
Instructions
- Gather all the vegetables and chop them into uniform, bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and consistent texture throughout the soup.
- Transfer the chopped carrots, onions, tomatoes, cabbage, green beans, bell peppers, and celery into a spacious cooking pot.
- Pour in the tomato juice and beef broth, then sprinkle the dry onion soup mix over the vegetables, creating a flavorful base for the soup.
- Add water to completely submerge all the vegetables, ensuring they will cook evenly and absorb the rich, savory broth.
- Position the pot on the stovetop and crank the heat to medium-high, allowing the liquid to reach a rolling boil quickly.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, covering the pot partially to trap steam and help the vegetables soften.
- Let the soup simmer for approximately 25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and promote even cooking of all ingredients.
- Check the tenderness of the vegetables by piercing them with a fork; they should be soft but not mushy.
- Remove the pot from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Ladle the steaming, nutrient-packed soup into serving bowls, making sure each portion has a colorful mix of vegetables.
Notes
- Boost vegetable crispness by chopping them uniformly to ensure even cooking and consistent texture throughout the soup.
- Substitute beef broth with vegetable broth for a vegetarian version that maintains the soup’s rich flavor profile.
- Enhance fat-burning potential by adding metabolism-boosting spices like cayenne pepper or ginger for an extra nutritional kick.
- Optimize soup storage by cooling completely before refrigerating, which helps preserve nutrients and prevents bacterial growth.
