Vegetable Beef Soup From Scratch

Does anyone have a recipe for homemade vegetable beef soup? I have used beef shank in the past, but was unable to find any this time. I used a soup bone without meat on it, and read that the bone should be roasted first. Does anyone know why? Any recipes for veg-beef soup, and the type of meat that could be used would really be appreciated. I don't want to use a ready made canned beef broth. I would rather do it from scratch.

Thanks,
P.J. from Delaware

Angel Food Ministries Recipe Ideas

I am looking to start a topic for those of us that get food each month from the Angel Food Ministries. I would like to know what you have made from your Angel Food groceries.

Example, I used some of my boneless chicken breast and the frozen peas and carrots to make a yummy homemade Chicken Pot pie. I cooked the breaded Beef Fritters and Field Peas another night and fried potatoes w/them as well.

If someone has an idea as to how they will use this months food as well, I would like to know!

TIA
