Hey, i'm a chef, so maybe i can help ya!. Honestly, you could use both!. I would use chicken broth and tomato sauce!. Season your veggies when cooking them, add chicken or vegetable broth, then add a thick tomato sauce like a marinara slowly until you get the desired richness and consistancy!. Always add a little at a time, and taste as you go!. And simmer, not boil, for about an hour to let the flavors marry!. Hope i helped!Www@FoodAQ@Com
!.Hi I was a culinary student for 3 years at the Culinary School of Washington in DC!. Even though I have not run any big expensive Restaurants I have cooked for a few wealth people and done a number of parties and I was also a banquet Chief at Dave and Busters restaurant!. I would use Chicken stock if i used a meat stock but other wise I would make a veg!. stock with some veggies that i love the most especially the mushrooms!. I would also try it both ways with the tomato sauce and with just including tomatoes in my veggies for the stew!. As far as the beans I don't see a why you cant use the Green beans in the last fifteen minutes of cooking the stew so they don't get really discolored!. I would cook my beans like kidney beans (In with turkey necks) separately so I can get them tender with out over cooking all of my other veggies!. As far as my spices, would place them in a bag!. Or Cheesecloth and tie them up with a string to the handle of the pot so that i can remove them at the end of the stew!. That bag would have the Thyme, Basil, marjoram, garlic and whole cracked peppers in it!. Salt it to taste and serveWww@FoodAQ@Com
When I make vegetable soup I use stew meat!. I cook the meat first!. Then add a bag of mixed vegetables, onion, potatoes, beans, whatever sounds good that I have, and a couple of cans of stewed tomatoes!. Top it off with enough water for the consistence you want, remembering that it will cook down!.
I suppose it depends on what you like in your soup!.
It will be delicious however you make it!. Just add your own seasonings and simmer for the flavors to blend!.

I would use the broth!. The tomato sauce does not have seasoning in it, and is a little bland in comparison!. The broth adds flavor, and works as a great base for soup!. You will need to add seasonings - herbs, spices - and I would add onion as well!. That sounds like a nice soup!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Tomato sauce with the stew meat would be more like a stew wich would be fine!.
I love a hamburger veggie soup!. So I would go more with the chicken broth, and even a little beef broth if you want!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
