Universal Homemade Soup

What to do with all that lovely stock you just made? Turn it into a simple and infinitely customizable soup. For a quick dinner option, I use two 10-12 ounce packages of frozen seasoned vegetables, and a 1 pound bag of frozen meatballs. It’s also great with fresh or leftover veggies and leftover chicken or other meat. Leftover rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes can be mixed in. Use fish, shrimp, shellfish, or a mix of canned beans for a meat-free soup for Friday Soup & Stations.
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes

Equipment

  • Instant pot
  • Ladle
  • Measuring glasses
  • Mixing bowls for ingredients

Ingredients
  

  • 8 cups stock or broth
  • 6 cups chopped vegetables fresh or frozen
  • 1 pound cooked meat
  • 1 can diced peeled tomatoes plain or seasoned
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Seasoning blend to taste optional
  • Grated cheese for serving optional

Instructions
 

  • Heat the stock in a crock pot, on the stovetop, or in an instant pot on the saute setting. Add the canned tomatoes, vegetables, and meat, and heat through. (Note: some frozen “stew vegetable” mixes contain raw potatoes, which take longer to cook.) Season to taste with salt and pepper and your preferred seasoning blend if desired. Top with grated cheese if desired.

Hi! I’m Kendra.

For twenty years now, I’ve been using food, prayer, and conversation based around the liturgical calendar to share the lives of the saints and the beautiful truths and traditions of our Catholic faith. My own ten children, our friends and neighbors, and people just like you have been on this journey with me.

If you’d like to learn more about what Catholics believe and why, and to be inspired by saints from every era all over the world, you’ve come to the right place. If you’re feeling overwhelmed with the prospect of how to teach your kids about the faith in a way that’s true, engaging, and lasts a lifetime, we can help!
