What a treat to come home from work and have this savory soup ready to eat. It's a nice traditional beef soup with old-fashioned goodness. We pair it with crusty rolls topped with melted mozzarella cheese. — Heather Thurmeier, Pense, Saskatchewan

Love this soup! I make it all the time. My young children love it too.

This was very good. I used a large can of our garden tomatoes and a large low-sodium beef broth instead of the bouillon cubes and water. Like the previous reviewer, it reminds me of the vegetable soup I ate when I was a kid. My husband liked it, too. Will make again.

Used a can of tomato juice instead of water and it is close to mom and grandma's vegetable soup I grew up with!! My 6 year old loves it and it's so easy!

Made it several times. It's one my husband has requested time and time again.

This soup was very disappointing. While it was healthy, it lacked flavor. My husband has already asked me not to make this again.

Wow, this is a great soup recipe! Made a couple of changes. I used fire-roasted diced tomatoes, thyme instead of basil (I didn't have basil), and a dash of Trader Joe's Flower pepper in addition to the pepper in the recipe (out of concern for lack of flavor after reading one of the pervious reviews). I also used 3 cups of beef broth instead of water and boien. No flavor problems with the reciepe, for me.

I think I would add some chopped or shredded cabbage to the recipe

The recipe this magazine came in is tattered and worn from making this soup so many times. Our family of 7 loves it. I usually double it (or more) so we can have some leftovers for lunch. One of the best! Very forgiving recipe, too; You can add whatever you have on hand and it tastes delicious, either made in the slow-cooker or on top of the stove.

Doubling this recipe fits nicely in a 6-qt crockpot. Some changes I made: I used crushed tomatoes (all I had on hand) and I didn't use celery (none in the cupboard). Everyone in my family of 5 said this was a keeper for sure. I will probably either add beef broth instead of water the next time or a few more beef cubes to make it a bit less tomato flavored. We found this to be very flavorful overall and I enjoyed it's simplicity as well. Served with fresh bread to round the meal.

My family and everyone I gave this recipe to absolutely love this soup. I make this often. It is delicious and very easy to make. Definitely not bland if you follow the receipe. Excellent. I have made this for several years.

We were all looking forward to eating this soup. It smelled delicious. We were, however, very disappointed in the taste. It was bland and slightly bitter. I won't be making it again.

I love making ( and eating ) this soup.
