The weather is starting to turn chilly around here so we decided to make a huge pot of homemade vegetable beef stew for dinner. There is just something magical about a warm mug of soup mixed with some snuggling with the family on a cool fall evening. We jumped in the car and headed out to buy our fresh ingredients to take home and make our fabulous vegetable beef stew.
Homemade Vegetable Beef Stew
Ingredients
6 large green onions
2 green peppers
1 or 2 cans of diced or whole tomatoes
3 carrots
10 oz or so of mushrooms
1 bunch of celery
half a head of cabbage
1 package of Lipton onion soup mix
1 or 2 bullion cubes
1 48oz can of V8 juice
Season to taste with salt, pepper, parsley, curry and/or garlic powder
**Optional you can add stew meat or ground beef if you would like to add meat to your vegetable beef stew**
Directions
Start by adding 48 oz of V8 juice to a large pot. Slice green onions and saute in a pan with oil. Cut green peppers into bite size pieces and add to pot. Take outer leaves off cabbage and cut half of the cabbage into bite size pieces and add to pot. Cut Carrots and mushrooms and add.
Now it’s time to add your spices to taste.
If you would like a spicier soup add some curry or cayenne pepper. Add in your bullion cubes (beef or chicken is fine)
Cover and simmer on low heat for 2 hours.
My husband and kiddos loved the stew! I hope you do too!
Note: If adding stew meat you will want to brown the cubes and add to soup while cooking. If adding hamburger you can brown this and add in at the end of the cooking time. The picture shown above is made with chopped ground beef.

It’s still in the 90’s here, but this will be great when the weather cools off!
It’s getting to be soup season allright. We even have soup season in Tucson, well at least I do!!
Sounds so easy to make! Thanks for the recipe..

It looks delicious and healthy and I appreciate the fact that you cared to share the receipt with everyone!
I make a similar beef stew with potatoes and cook it in the crock pot. It’s so easy. You put everything together in the morning and forget it until dinner time. Still waiting for fall weather in Tucson.
Heathy and easy to make….my two favorite combos for cooking!
Ohhh yummm!, I will need to try this recipe! Looks great

This is AMAZING, Im sure my hubby and kids will love it too. I was feeling just like some Winter comfort food, had fresh thyme in the garden too!
There’s nothing like a hot bowl of stew when the days turn cold! I do mine in a crockpot and I just love walking into the house at the end of the day to that wonderful smell!
Beef stew reminds me of my childhood.
This looks great! I love stew in the fall and winter!

The photo of beef and stew made my mouth water. 🙂 But I like only dried beef dishes. Thanks for sharing!
It is definitely soups and stew weather now. This recipe looks tasty and hearty. Thanks for sharing it!
This looks delicious. I love making soups and stews during the cold months. We’re making turkey soup here soon.
Thanks for the recipe. I love beef stew and I would definitely add some meat to the recipe. It’s only about 31 F for a high today, so hot stew would be a great idea.
I loved the recipe and have noted it down in my recipe book im sure my family and friends are going to like it as its something unique and light in calories
YOU CAN ALSO USE THE JUICE FROM THE TOMATOES INSTEAD OF THE V8 BUT THAT DOES AT SOME SPARK. ALSO IF U ARE USING MEAT YOU CAN ALSO USE SOME OF THE MEAT JUICES

This sounds like such a great recipe. I pinned it to my Pinterest board to give it a try next shopping trip!

The onion soup mix gives this stew an interesting twist, will have to try this some time.
This sounds easy to make. I wish that my family wasn’t so picky, this would be a great meal for the crockpot.

My father-in-law makes the best vegetable soup ever! This looks good, too. :0)
Looks quite tasty, but I would use my own homemade onion soup mix, instead of the processed (chemical laden) commercial kind.
