Cooking Recipes For Kids: Roast Beef Vegetable Soup Recipe

Cooking Recipes For Kids

Welcome to the Lynch Family Dinning Experience.

We are a family of seven, so cooking for kids, and cooking with kids is not new to us.

We love to eat together as a family. We are always trying new recipes and combinations. Some of us are more picky then others, but we are willing to share all the tried and true recipes we make.

Come back often, as we are always adding new recipes, and food to our diet.

Roast Beef Vegetable Soup Recipe

I hate to let anything go to waste, but I can only eat so much left overs. Instead of eating another roast beef dinner, I made soup with all the leftovers. It was delicious and easy to make, ready in less than 20 minutes!

Our whole family loved it! The four year old kid that said "I don't want to eat soup," sat at the table with his bowl, and surprised us all by saying "I guess I could have more soup" after finishing the entire bowl.

Leftover roast beef, cut into long strips
Leftover vegetables (everything and anything. We had broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and beans.)
Leftover potatoes cut into bite size, or leftover mashed potatoes (mashed makes the soup broth thick, and hides, great way to get the kids to eat potatoes and never know it)
Leftover gravy (great flavor in the broth)
Can of whole tomatoes (whole tomatoes is easy avoid scoping into a bowl of a kid that doesn't like tomatoes, while the rest of us enjoys them)
Celery
Noodles
Water

Mix as much or as little as you like, and throw in any other leftovers that are in the fridge. Bring to a boil, cook until noodles are ready, and serve.
