Vegetable Beef Soup Recipe Biography

Nothing beats a warm bowl of chili on a cool fall day. And on a football weekend, chili is a perfect tailgate option, whether you're at the game or watching at home. A big pot of chili simmering on the stove not only smells great, it will score big points with fans.
This chili is a breeze to make and doesn't have a shopping list of ingredients as many do. If you're in a hurry or low on pantry ingredients, this is the one to make. With this recipe, most likely the only ingredient you'll need to pick up is bloody Mary Mix. Whether you use regular or spicy, the bloody Mary mix is what brings this together nicely and makes it standout. I prefer a spicy bloody Mary mix that's a bit on the thick side such as Mr. & Mrs. T's or Zing Zang. If you don't want to use the mix, you can use a tomato-based vegetable juice like V8. For chili powders, use your favorite.
The fragrance and comforting warmth of simmering soup is inviting as autumn brings cooler temperatures.
The combinations of ingredients used in soups are endless. Most soup recipes are adaptable to seasonal or on-hand ingredients.
For example, if a vegetable soup recipe calls for a cup of carrots and you don’t have carrots, but there are some leftover green beans in the refrigerator, they can easily be substituted. Or if the recipe calls for a type of bean that is not in your pantry, another bean can be substituted. The strength of seasoning used in soup can vary according to personal preference. Less can be used for the delicate palette and more for the person preferring a strongly seasoned soup.
Soups need a flavorful liquid for the base. Frequently, the base is a commercially prepared chicken, beef or vegetable broth. A low-sodium version of broth can be used, or to reduce sodium further, you can make your own broth using only the lowest-sodium ingredients. Sometimes tomato or vegetable juice is used as a base. Again, a low-sodium or no-salt-added version can be substituted.
Some ingredients add dimension to a soup. The natural flavor and texture of vegetables such as potatoes for cream of potato soup or the butternut squash used in our featured recipe today add depth. Poultry, meat or seafood and ingredients such as garlic, onion or leeks lightly sauteed in a small amount of oil also can be used to add a depth of flavor and texture.
Flavors need to be balanced. For example, if a tomato-based soup is too tart or sour, it may need a tiny bit of honey or sugar. Sometimes soup needs a bit of an acidic flavor, and a little vinegar, tomato paste or some citrus will balance it. If it is too bland and no salt has been added, just a touch of salt can make a big difference. Black pepper or a few drops of hot sauce also can be added to balance flavors.
When tasting the soup, consider if the flavor could be improved with the addition of a little bit of sweet, bitter, salty, sour or savory. Then add just a bit and adjust accordingly. Don’t be afraid to experiment with the flavor
Some soups are high in fat but can be made with lower-fat ingredients. For example, a creamy soup made with whole milk or cream can be made much lower in fat by substituting skim milk and adding additional herbs or spices to enhance the flavor. The soup can be made thicker and creamier by stirring in pureed vegetables. Most people don’t eat enough vegetables, and it is easy to get an extra serving or two of vegetables pureed in a bowl of soup.
Reduced-fat cheese can be substituted for whole-milk cheese. Less oil can be used to saute vegetables. Be creative when preparing soups and look for ways to make them healthier.
Finally, the soup needs to be garnished. The garnish should complement the flavor and texture of the soup. For example, fresh chopped cilantro would nicely garnish a Southwestern-style soup. Some grated reduced-fat cheddar cheese would be a good garnish for a cream of potato or broccoli soup. A spicy Indian soup could be garnished with spoonful of yogurt.
Soups should be loaded with nutrients and wonderful rich flavor. Our featured soup, Autumn Butternut Squash Soup with Roasted Pumpkin Seeds, is nutritious and wonderfully satisfying, thick and delicious. This winter squash is long-necked and bell-shaped with a smooth tan skin. It has a small seed cavity and provides a large amount of flesh for the size. The orange flesh is nutrient-dense, providing a rich source of beta carotene and a good source of fiber. It has a flavorful and rich sweetness.
