Craving a hearty, comforting meal that practically cooks itself? Look no further than this slow cooker beef and vegetable soup recipe! It's the perfect way to warm up on a chilly evening and a fantastic way to sneak in extra veggies.
This recipe is incredibly simple: just toss some cubed beef, your favorite chopped vegetables (carrots, celery, potatoes, onions are classics!), beef broth, and a few seasonings into your slow cooker. Let it simmer on low for 6-8 hours, and you'll come home to a flavorful and satisfying soup.
The beauty of using a slow cooker is the depth of flavor you achieve. The low and slow cooking method allows the beef to become incredibly tender and the vegetables to meld together beautifully. Feel free to customize the vegetables based on what you have on hand. Add some beans for extra protein or some barley for a heartier soup. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for a final touch of freshness. Enjoy!
