Leftover Beef Vegetable Soup Recipes

ROAST BEEF & VEGETABLE SOUP

Steps:

• Bring barley and 3 cups water to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes. Drain and set aside when barley is tender and cooked through.
• In a large soup pot over medium heat, add the oil, onion, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent and edges begin to brown, about 10 minutes.
• Add any uncooked vegetables--in this case I had a small amount of raw potato, celery root, and cauliflower--along with the garlic, dry herbs, salt and pepper. Continue to cook until vegetables soften (add oil as needed), about 10 minutes.
• Add the broth, bay leaf, and Parmesan rind to the vegetables and bring to a low boil. Stir-in gravy, tomatoes, peas, (leftover) cooked vegetables, barley, and meat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes to meld flavors.
• Stir-in parsley the last 5 minutes of cooking, adjust seasoning for salt and pepper, to taste. Serve hot.

Steps:

• 1. Cut leftover pot roast into bite-sized chunks and place in a crock pot or pressure cooker. Add potatoes, carrots, onion, corn, soup, tomatoes, sugar, salt, pepper and stir well. Add water or beef broth one cup at a time until desired thickness is reached.
• 2. Crock pot method: Cover and cook on high for about one hour. Reduce heat to low/medium and cook for 3 to 4 hours or until potatoes are tender. Remove bay leaves and basil leaves. Serve with your favorite bread or crackers.
• 3. Pressure cooker method: Place all ingredients into your pressure cooker and secure lid. Once pressure regulator is in place, turn to high until pressure regulator begins to rock. Reduce heat to medium to maintain gentle rocking motion and cook for about 30 minutes. Remove from heat and release pressure. Once safety valve has dropped and all pressure has been released, remove lid. Remove bay leaves and basil leaves and serve with your favorite bread or crackers. CAUTION: DO NOT FILL PRESSURE COOKER MORE THAN 2/3 FULL!
• 4. Power Cookers: Place all ingredients into your Power Cooker and secure lid. Make sure that release valve is closed. Set for stew and cook (mine cooks for 30 minutes). When cooking time is complete, release pressure and remove lid. Remove bay and basil leaves and serve as above.
