I found this Cowboy Soup Recipe online years ago. It’s definitely my favorite easy soup recipe. The most bang for your buck so to speak. It’ll last 2 people all week long and a family for many days. It’s very versatile and you can tweak it many different ways. It comes out kinda thick like a condensed soup. I just transfer the soup into a Tupperware and microwave one bowl at a time as needed. I add some broth or warmed water to make it watered down more like a soup. I highly recommend this recipe

Recipe Notes
Of course you can substitute fresh or frozen veggies, but would need to add a can or two of beef stock to this. No need to add this if using canned veggies, as you will be adding the cans undrained-which provides both liquid and flavor.
