My Thoughts On Best Beef Vegetable Soup:
I worked on this recipe for about two years. I searched for basic ingredients for a beef vegetable soup and slowly added other ingredients until I felt I had a great-tasting soup. I like to say my "secret" ingredient in this recipe is the On The Border medium salsa. Adding salt to your taste will bring out the flavor of the salsa. Everyone who tastes this soup recipe says it's the BEST they ever had. Try it for yourself and see what you think. This is a big pot recipe and will work great for large gatherings.
More Information On Beef Vegetable Soup:
Beef vegetable soup can have a variety of vegetables. This soup dates back to Roman times. In America, its history is considered a "country" soup. You may notice what vegetables are missing from my recipe. You can add or omit the vegetables you like best. Keep the other ingredients the same and you will hit on the flavor I created for this soup recipe. Learn more about Vegetable Soup here.

My Thoughts For Today:
My birthday gifts!
Yesterday was my birthday and it was a good day. I enjoyed the day at home with my family. I ate good food and received birthday gifts and cards. My oldest daughter made banana cream pie for me and it is wonderful. She and her husband also gave me Dr. Squatch PINE TAR soap. It smells nice and I look forward to using it. My wife and youngest daughter gave me chicken seasoning I wrote about in a previous post and SOCAL cologne. That has been my signature scent for many years. There is a story behind that but I will spare you for now. My youngest daughter made my favorite cake called Sunshine Cake. It is a cold cake with a whipped topping that has crushed pineapple in it. What a nice day!
Keep on cooking!
