An Easy Slow Cooker Soup Recipe
I am a big-time soup lover, and I'll eat just about any vegetables you throw into it. This Vegetable Beef Soup can be made lots of different ways, substituting your favorite vegetables or spices for a combination that your family is sure to love!
Be sure to serve this with 30 Minute Dinner Rolls or a nice chunk of crusty bread to soak up all of that incredible broth!
If you love slow cooker soups as much as we do (and have some crusty bread handy), try Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Soup, Sausage Potato Soup, or Italian Chicken Noodle Soup.
How to Make Slow Cooker Vegetable Beef Soup:
- Beef: Place your beef cubes in the slow cooker. You can brown them first or you can skip this step, but with soup recipes, I generally recommend browning the meat as it makes for a better broth! This is totally optional and won't make a big difference.
- Vegetables: Add some vegetables and some broth.
- Cook: Turn it on, and let it cook away until everything is melt in your mouth tender.
See how easy that was?
What Cut of Beef is Best for Soup?
Because the meat is slow cooked in broth, it doesn't need to be an expensive cut of beef to be tender in this crockpot vegetable beef soup.
I like to check my grocery store flyers to see what is on sale. If there is a particular roast that is on for a great price, I'll buy one and cube it up to make this soup. If you're not a sales shopper, chuck roast is a great option and will make for some incredibly tender beef.
If you've got ground beef instead, you will want to check out my Easy Hamburger Soup for an inexpensive, hearty meal.
