what a great soup! I only changed the meat and used stew meat and followed it exactly as written and it was a big hit in my house. I was able to use fresh okra,green beans,and tomatoes from my garden. Will definately make again.

I have made this soup twice. Each time with a chuck roast, following the instructions the way Paula said. All of the ingredients, just like she says. This has gotten rave reviews from my husband and the other eight men that went hunting with him. The second time, I made a 1 1/2 batch and took it with me on a ladies weekend, where 23 of us enjoyed it tremendously. The flavor is just fantastic. I can only think that those that said it was bland, must have done something wrong or didn't put in all that was asked for. As far as having too much broth, that is purely a personal preference, of which I am a broth loving soup eater so this recipe gets everybit of all five stars and more if I could. The reviewers have stated all kind of adjustments they made as to different vegetables, etc, and I'm sure they have turned out good, because the broth was so very good. And as with all vegetable soups, it only gets better each day the flavors are allowed to meld. It will be made again and again in my home, and my co-workers will benefit.

This soup was the most flavorfull vegetable soup Ive ever had! I used just regular ground beef (2 lbs and omitted all the beans because I didnt have any on hand. I also used double the suggested beef bouillon flavoring. It was super easy and it made a HUGE pot of soup, enough for my familly to have it for lunch and dinner the next day so this recipe is very budget friendly. I served it with a side of corn bread and my family loved it! Dont be afraid to make this even if you dont have everything on hand, I only used carrots, potatoes, corn and onions and regular ground beef but with all the seasoning it was wonderful and hearty. This is my new favorite go to soup for my family

This soup is amazing. I've always used ground beef in it instead of the roast/ ribs, but that's only because it's cheaper. I also just use one of those 'soup mix' bags of frozen vegetables to cut the cost, and it's still a wonderful recipe. It makes a huge pot of soup and it's always gone after a few days. This recipe is definitely a comfort meal, it's great with a little cheese on top.

Even my husband liked this soup. He is not a veggie eater. He did pick around the green beans, though. I doubled on the macaroni and potatoes but would add even more of these next time. I did not add the celery, black-eyed peas, butter beans nor the okra because I didn't have them. But the recipe came out great without them and will omit them again next time. P.S. I used the short ribs.

The rib bones did not add as much flavor as I hoped they would! Despite all the ingredients, i.e. many different seasonings and vegetables, etc., the soup was bland and mushy, at least for our tastes. We have tons of leftovers (too much. Would not make again altho still a Paula fan.

This is the best vegetable soup we have ever had. My family didn't like how much broth there was so I doubled all vegetables the next time. I like having a lot of broth, though, myself. I could eat the broth all day long it's so good. My husband told me not to eat any more of the soup since he wanted it all for himself. lol

Every time we run out of soup, we make more. We've made it three times in January alone and will make it tomorrow at our son's house. I do use the pre cut stew meat.

I really hate to write a negative review for this recipe that has gotten so many shining reviews. I made the recipe step by step using 3 lbs of beef consisting of short ribs and chuck roast. I did not make any alterations, deletions or additions.
The soup was good but not fantastic as expected from the reviews.
It was acidic, probably from the tomatoes. If I made this again I would omit or 1/2 the tomatoes. I would also use pre cut stew meat as it was a pain to brown then cut of the roast. I dont think that the ribs added enough flavor to mess with cutting the meat from the bones. The recipe makes a lot, I have plenty of left overs.
