There is nothing quite like coming home to the smell of a cozy dinner waiting for you. This vegetable beef soup is a favorite in my house because it is so easy to put together on a busy morning and leaves the kitchen smelling wonderful all day.

You can easily customize this recipe with whatever fresh vegetables you have in your crisper drawer. If you want a thicker soup, just stir in a little cornstarch mixed with water during the last thirty minutes of cooking.
