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.

I never thought of putting apple and turnip in my soup before, but that would really add some nice flavor. I've tried many recipes for vegetable soups, and I really love to add V8 juice for more nutrition and flavor. This looks just wonderful and on an empty tummy this morning, I'm getting very hungry all of a sudden. Thanks for sharing this tips!
Blessed by an angels!

I love to make homemade soup, but not so much in the summer time. Once the weather cools there will be a pot on the stove.
Thanks for sharing.

Congratulations on the excellent construction of this visually appealing description of your family soup. I also have a vegetable soup that is aimed more towards the person with diabetic problems. They sound very close. I noticed the apple added to the ingredients and applaud that suggestion emminsely. I will use that one in my stew on the next batch this fall. Again, Many thanks from a Newbie. crc
