Vegetable Beef Soup

Vegetable Beef Soup

I made this soup with beef bones we had left from a roast beef.  It is a great way to use up any vegetables that you have also!

It takes a little time, so it is perfect for a chilly day when you are just hanging out at home.

Serve it with some crusty bread!

You can use fresh, frozen, or canned vegetables.
