Start With a Package
One of the best quick and easy soup recipes that you can get is to start it from a package.

Once the beef is no longer pink and the veggies are slightly cooked, add a carton of chicken or beef broth and let the mixture simmer down for a bit.
Once it’s cooked for a little while go ahead and add your package of soup mix with eight cups of water. Stir it in with a whisk to make sure the whole mix breaks up well. Cover and simmer for about a half hour or so, stirring occasionally, until you’re ready to eat. Add some crusty bread and you have a simple and quick soup for dinner (and leftovers, if you like) that your whole family will love.
