Instructions

Gather all the ingredients for the vegetable soup and prepare the vegetables by washing, chopping, and cutting them into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
Chop the celery, carrots, onions, cabbage, bell peppers, and green beans.
Place all the chopped vegetables into a large soup pot to form the hearty base of the soup.
Add the tomato juice, canned or fresh tomatoes, and beef broth to the pot.
Pour in enough water to fully cover the vegetables.
Sprinkle in the onion soup mix and stir well to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Place the pot over medium heat and bring the soup to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer gently for about 25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Once the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded, the soup is ready to serve.
Ladle into bowls and enjoy warm, especially on chilly days.
