      \n
    • Oil:<\/strong>\u00a0used to brown the beef and aromatics before adding them to the slow cooker.<\/li>\n
    • Beef:<\/strong>\u00a0any cut of beef will work! The crockpot does a great job at tenderizing normally tough cuts of meat. (Got extra? Try this Flavorful Beef Barley Soup or Slow Cooker Beef Barley Soup next!)<\/li>\n
    • Carrot, Celery, and Onion:<\/strong>\u00a0the trio of veggies, called a mirepoix, that creates a flavor base in so many soups and stews.<\/li>\n
    • Tomato Paste:<\/strong>\u00a0adds richness and flavor depth.<\/li>\n
    • Garlic:<\/strong>\u00a0I like to use freshly minced garlic for the best flavor, but pre-minced will work as well.<\/li>\n
    • Seasonings:\u00a0<\/strong>you need a simple blend of salt, dried parsley, dried thyme, paprika, and black pepper to give this soup tons of flavor.<\/li>\n
    • Beef Broth:<\/strong>\u00a0I use low sodium beef broth. If you use regular beef broth, you may want to lessen the amount of salt you add yourself.<\/li>\n
    • Additional Vegetables:\u00a0<\/strong>I like to use a blend of potatoes, canned and diced tomatoes, fresh or frozen green beans, and frozen corn. You could also add diced bell peppers, mushrooms, canned or fresh green beans, or you could toss in a bag of frozen mixed vegetables!<\/li>\n
    • Tomato Sauce:<\/strong>\u00a0thickens the broth and adds even more flavor.<\/li>\n
    • Bay Leaf:<\/strong>\u00a0adds a subtle undertone that helps enhance the other flavors within the soup. Be sure to remove the bay leaf before serving!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              Reader Rating<\/h2>\n

              \u201cMy husband and I LOVE this recipe! We have cooked it before on 4hrs but I did. Cook veggies and meat in a pan before. Now for 8hrs I threw everything in the crockpot and cooked the meat then put it in there and it tasted the same!\u201d Malayna<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

              How to store this beef vegetable soup:<\/h2>\n

              Pour the soup into an airtight container and store it in the fridge for 4-5 days. Reheat in a small pot over low heat on the stove top.<\/p>\n

              Can I freeze this Slow Cooker Vegetable Beef Soup?<\/h2>\n

              Yes! Simply cool it to room temperature and place it into a large freezer bag or container. I like to use bags because it freezes in a thin layer and thaws more quickly. Freeze for up to 3 months.<\/p>\n

              To serve, thaw overnight in the refrigerator or for 6-8 hours at room temperature. If you need to thaw it quickly, place it in the sink in a few inches of room temperature water for 30 minutes, breaking it into chunks. Warm in the microwave or on the stove top until heated through.<\/p>\n

              Keep in mind that the texture of\u00a0potatoes\u00a0does change\u00a0when they are frozen, so if you are picky about that, this might not be the best soup for your freezer stash.<\/p>\n

              What cut of beef to use?<\/h2>\n

              Any cut you want! Because the meat is slow-cooked in broth, it doesn\u2019t need to be an expensive cut to be super tender. Some great options would be chuck roast or beef stew meat. I like to check my grocery store flyers to see what\u2019s on sale. If there\u2019s a particular roast that\u2019s going for a good price, I\u2019ll buy one, cube it up, and use it in this soup. If there\u2019s extra, I stash it in the freezer for my next soup craving!<\/p>\n

              Should you brown the beef first?<\/h2>\n

              It\u2019s not totally necessary, but I like to do so. Browning the beef adds a delicious layer of flavor that just can\u2019t be quite achieved by only cooking it in the slow cooker. If you\u2019re lower on time and want to skip that step, that\u2019s totally fine, too.<\/p>\n

              Can this be made on the stove?<\/h2>\n

              Yes! If you\u2019re short on time, you can make beef stew on the stove using my\u00a0stovetop beef stew recipe, which is ready in under an hour!<\/p>\n

              Can vegetable beef soup be made ahead of time?<\/h2>\n

              Absolutely! This soup is great for making ahead because it just\u00a0gets better\u00a0as it sits. You can make it ahead and keep it warm in the crockpot if you\u2019re serving it the day you make it. You can also transfer it to an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for 4-5 days.<\/p>\n

              \"close<\/figure>\n

              Serving suggestions:<\/h2>\n

              I love to serve this soup with bread to soak up the broth! Try it with\u00a0garlic bread,\u00a0breadsticks, or\u00a0homemade garlic herb dinner rolls!<\/p>\n
