I love how fast and easy this soup is to put together. The molasses and soy sauce add a great flavor that gives a tasty and interesting difference from basic beef veggie soup tomato broth. I often make a few changes by adding other veggies that are in my refrigerator such as zucchini, celery, parsnips, potatoes, fresh spinach or kale. This soup freezes well, so I put into individual serving containers for an easy thing to pack for lunch at work.

Delicious! I added a little extra hot water rinsed in the tomato sauce can to make it soupier. I also added a bit of brown sugaras I had no molasses. And, I had some leftover vegetables from a beef stew in the fridge. You guessed it--they stretched this soup so we'll have more tomorrow.

I love a thick, chunky soup, and this fits the bill! Add a salad, warm rolls, and laugh at the cold outside!

Easy and delicious. I've stopped using soy sauce and instead use 1 tsp. of Worcestershire Sauce in this recipe. Also, I use two 14 oz. cans of beef broth and have cut back on the frozen vegetables. In addition, I salt and pepper the meat when browning and add a handful of uncooked macaroni to the soup and cook until ingredients are tender. It's the molasses that make this soup so outstanding. Thanks for sharing.

This is delicious! I change a few things around but we love it here!I triple the liquids, rather then the mixed veggies I use fresh carrots and frozen peas, I use brown sugar instead of molasses, and I add small pasta noodles to make it spread between my family and have leftovers!
