Tomato Vegetable Beef Soup Recipe- Gluten Free, Easy, Healthy

 photo IMG_0526_zps70a3ecca.jpgI bought a hunk of cheap meat at the grocery store, and from experience, I boiled it in the pressure cooker until soft, and then cooled and sliced up the meat and used it in various recipes. When I do that, I end up with beef broth as a by-product- the liquid in which I boiled the beef.
Today, I decided to use that beef broth to make a tomato beef vegetable soup, styled after a Ramen noodle soup that I loved growing up. I left out the noodles and made it loads healthier, free from any chemicals or artificial ingredients, but it's very tasty nonetheless (or perhaps specifically because of that!). It's actually quite simple, no herbs, no weird ingredients, just a few easy ingredients... The beef flavor isn't overpowering at all- I am sure you can make this with chicken broth in place of the beef, and make it vegan by using vegetable broth.
