I just served this Whole30 Vegetable Beef Soup and it was exceptionally good. I did tweak the recipe as follows: I used a strip steak instead of ground beef, 1/2” dice. I used 1 teaspoon of ground rosemary, not 1 tablespoon (I also added 1 teaspoon of Italian blend herbs). I puréed the tomatoes instead of using diced tomatoes. I did not use green beans. I would have given five stars but I’m giving one star to myself.😋

I’m changing my review to 5 stars – I’ve made this soup twice and it’s on the menu again this week. I’ve also shared it with my vbf who I’m doing the Whole30 with. YUM!

It needs a bit different flavor. All I taste is the rosemary
