I use a chuck or rump roast along with a soup bone as my mother has done for years. Definitely a richer broth with a roast vs. ground beef. This is my "deserted island" food choice. My husband and I make it year round.

This is a great soup! I substituted ground venison instead of ground beef and followed the rest of the recipe. Simple and great!

Very good and easy- liked the fact that you can change it up easily but the base flavor is great. Will definitely make this again.

I thought this was great. I made a couple of changes in that I used V8 vegetable juice and 1 can chicken broth instead of the beef bouillon. I also omitted the cabbage and okra. The soup was hardy and perfect on a cool fall evening. Thanks for sharing!

Great for a cool fall night. I used cubed stew meat, in bite size pieces. Instead of ground beef, It turned out real good

Pretty good soup for a cold winter day.I left the okra out the second time as I thought it made the soup kinda slimey.Overall I would make again.Thanks for the post.

Delicious. I substituted the lima beans for the butter beans. My family loved it. Even better the next day

When I originally listed the recipe - I used Butter Beans instead of Lima Beans, as my family are not big on Lima Beans... The Butter Beans can be found in your frozen vegetable section as well as with you other vegetables.
