SERVINGS
Ingredients
- 2 stalks celery
- 6 or more baby carrots, cut into chunks or pieces
- 1 large onion, cut into small pieces
- 1 small can whole kernel corn (fresh is even better)
- 3 medium potatoes, cut into small pieces
- Other vegetables (turnips, squash, zucchini, tomatoes, mushrooms, onion, beans, peas, corn, etc.), cut into pieces or chunks
- 5 cups water
- Meat, optional
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons or 2 cubes beef bouillon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 can stewed or diced tomatoes with juice
- Leftover rice, noodles, broccoli or whatever’s in the fridgeÂ
Directions
- Place all vegetables in large pot and add water. If adding meat, brown in butter first, then add to pot.
- Add remaining ingredients, and simmer for at least 3 hours. We usually cook it 4 to 5 hours. Check liquid level every now and then. Otherwise, let it simmer. I usually put it toward the back of the woodstove as well, that's where it’s hotter. If it seems to be getting too hot, move it to the front.
- Serve with fresh bread for an unbelievably good meal and just the right thing for a cold winter night. Yields 3 to 4 servings. Â
Make some hearty, old fashioned vegetable soup without meat by simmering this recipe right on the wood stove. This stove top vegetable soup can easily be adapted for any vegetables you have on hand.
Soup is a dish that works well on the woodstove. Once you have all the ingredients from this Homemade Vegetable Soup recipe in the pot, let the soup simmer all day. I check occasionally to make sure there is enough liquid, but other than that, I leave it alone.
