Momma's Soup, a Beef Vegetable Soup Recipe for Picky Kids (& Adults)

It’s hard to believe now but when I was little I didn’t like to eat my vegetables. My mother came up with a unique trick to get us to eat more veggies… she snuck them into beef vegetable soup. Do you see all the vegetables in this bowl? We didn’t either. All we cared about was the meat, macaroni, and potatoes.
