There is nothing quite like a bowl of your favorite soup, especially when you’re feeling less than awesome. The hubs has been battling a flu bug for the past week or so, and all he wanted to eat was our favorite hearty vegetable beef soup! So whats a good wife to do? Make a HUGE batch of soup of course!

Hearty Vegetable Beef Soup Ingredients:
