Directions
-
In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, combine tomato sauce, diced carrots, diced potatoes, corn, green beans, and chopped onion.
-
Add salt, dried basil, dried oregano, and chopped fresh parsley to the pot.
-
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
-
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer. Cover partially and cook for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender when pierced with a fork.
-
Add the cubed cooked roast beef to the soup during the last 5 minutes of cooking to warm through without becoming tough.
-
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If the soup is too thick, stir in water to reach your desired consistency.
-
Ladle into bowls and serve immediately. Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired.
