Why You’ll Love This Vegetable Beef Soup with Beans

The star of this show is undoubtedly the Harissa paste, which adds a deep, smoky heat and a burst of aromatic spices to every spoonful. This popular North African chili pepper paste is a wonderful addition to elevate your soups, stews, and sauces.

But what really sets this soup apart is its impressive nutritional profile. With a rich broth made from beef bone broth, this soup is teeming with collagen, protein, and minerals to nourish your body from the inside out. The addition of sweet potatoes, carrots, and parsnips provides a boost of vitamin A and fiber, while the beans add a little more protein, fiber, and creaminess.

So, cozy up with a warm bowl of this incredible soup, and let the flavors and nutrients transport you to a state of pure comfort and well-being.

There’s just something ultra-satisfying, and extremely comforting about a big stockpot of homemade soup sitting on the stove:

Your kitchen smells delicious, soup is often more affordable, and it’s great because dinner is ready even if you’ll have a few stragglers who arrive home later after work or sports.

Soup helps to stretch the family dinner budget while filling up those bellies with fresh, whole-food ingredients that you carefully choose yourself.

I often double up soup recipes because it tastes even better the next few days, and also freezes very well. So, after dinner, dish up your lunch containers for tomorrow and stash them in the fridge, then freeze the rest for the next time you’re craving this DELICIOUS & NUTRITIOUS Beef Vegetable Bean Soup!

As with most soups – they taste even better the next day, so double or triple your batch while you’re at it, and your future self will thank you!

Stays great refrigerated for 4 days, or frozen for up to 2 months.

Harissa is a popular North African chili pepper paste made from a blend of roasted red peppers, garlic, coriander, caraway, olive oil, and salt. It’s a staple condiment in Tunisian, Moroccan, and Algerian cuisine.

Harissa has a thick, paste-like consistency and a vibrant red color. Its flavor profile is complex, with a balance of spicy, smoky, slightly sweet, and aromatic notes.

Harissa is often used to add heat and flavor to various dishes, such as:

– Tagines (slow-cooked stews)
– Grilled meats
– Vegetables
– Soups
– Sauces

There are different types of harissa, varying in intensity and flavor profile. Some common variations include:

– Tunisian harissa: Known for its intense heat and flavor
– Moroccan harissa: Milder and more aromatic than Tunisian harissa
– Rose harissa: Infused with rose petals for a floral and slightly sweet flavor

Harissa is widely available in most supermarkets and online stores. You can also make your own harissa at home using roasted red peppers and spices.
