I think you are going to like this recipe. It is thick, chunky and full of flavor. This is another crowd-pleaser at my house and I am all about pleasing the crowd around here. Well, I’m really all about pleasant dinnertime conversation. Conversation that doesn’t revolve around the exact ingredients or preparation of the meal before them (“Did you put raw onion in this?”). I consider the meal a success if I have to remind somebody not to talk with their mouth full.

This recipe calls for shredded beef, but I have also used sirloin tips and they are delicious in this soup. Either way, you can’t go wrong. This soup is quite thick, you can add more tomato juice or water to thin it slightly, if you prefer.
