Looking for an Easy Vegetable Soup Recipe Like Grandma Used to Make?
As a kid, I used to love my mother's homemade vegetable soup. In the fall and winter it brought comfort and even years later when I made it for my husband, he quickly developed a taste for it as well.
With simple, inexpensive ingredients my mother's homemade vegetable soup was very easy to put together. Although she had no written recipe for her soup, I followed her around as she made it one afternoon many years ago and made notes of the ingredients and quantities so that I could replicate her recipe.
Below you'll find her homemade vegetable soup recipe from my childhood as well as other recipes from across the internet that may also suit your tastes.
About My Mother's Homemade Vegetable Soup
Actually a Homemade Vegetable Beef Soup
My mother made this vegetable soup in the fall and winter mostly. Some fresh vegetables were harder to come by and thus some of the vegetables were canned. The advantage of course, was that the preparation and cooking time was reduced. I've written the recipe to conform to exactly how she made it.This homemade vegetable soup recipe includes beef; it's not a vegetarian dish. It should probably be more accurately described as a homemade vegetable beef soup. However, if you choose to leave out the beef it would obviously be more vegetarian friendly although it would still have the beef broth!
Either way, this is an affordable and easy soup to put together. If you're looking for a chicken vegetable soup recipe or some other variety, you can look further below on this page.

Her homemade vegetable soup recipe
The meat can be prepared however you prefer, but my mother used a pressure cooker for her homemade vegetable soup and indeed, it produces a very tender meat.As kids we had a bowl of this soup accompanied by saltine crackers and a slice or two of cheddar cheese.

I love soup, especially now that my husband is working PM's. I can make soup for dinner and then he can have it the following day. It's not the same as eating together but it helps.
Great lens

When I was still young, I had been living with my aunt in the Philippines, She used to cook what we call a vegetable soup. It is a dish with squash, string beans, beans spinach, papaya, eggplant, lady finger or what we call "okra", a piece of tomato, ang shrimp paste. Until now I have been craving to taste it once again, maybe you should try it, its very yummy and nutritious.

Not sure why but my household has been demanding carrot soup a lot lately - like multiple nights in a row. I am not complaining as it is so tasty and surely so healthy! My grandad made great carrot soup with grated carrot, but so far I always whizz mine smooth... if the soup trend continues here I might experiment with the grater :-)
