Easy Vegetable Beef Soup

One of my favorite things about fall and winter is pulling out the Crock Pot and filling it with comfort food, especially for weekends. I recently made my classic andEASY蔬菜牛肉汤配方and it was delicious served with a piece of crusty French bread.

The “secret” is in the seasoning pack and letting it slow cook all day.

Once you have this basic recipe, you can substitute the beef for chicken, use a different mix of vegetables, or change the types of beans you add. However, I think this recipe is pretty perfect as is. I hope you give it a try!

How to Make Vegetable Beef Soup

There’s a whole wealth of information about whatcuts of beefto use. I simply pick up a package of pre-cut beef cubes that look nice and lean. Here’s how I make my slow cooker soup.

  1. Start with lean meat! That’s because there’s no way to drain excess fat; however, see my tip below.
  2. Use low sodium beef broth to reduce salt intake.
  3. Pour in 2 cups of water.
  4. 添加一个可以切碎的西红柿的汁。我喜欢the fire roasted type but you can use the regular or petite diced, too.
  5. A packet of onion soup mix adds all the flavor and spices you need for this soup. It eliminates the need to add onion to the mix. Which is nice because I always cry when I chop onions!
  6. Pour in a 16 ounce bag of frozen mixed vegetables. Green beans, carrots, and corn blend is our go-to choice and holds up well.
  7. Drain and rinse a can of white Cannellini beans and add it to the mixture.
  8. Combine all the ingredients in the slow cooker and give it a quick stir.
  9. Cook on low for about 8 hours. You can also start it on high and cook for 2 hours; then turn the heat to low and cook another 4 hours.

HOSTESS TIP:Once your soup has cooled you can store it in the refrigerator. When it’s completely chilled, the fat will solidify and rise to the surface. Before reheating, use a slotted spoon to skim the solid fat off the top of the soup. You’ve just reduced fat and calories!

Ingredient Substitutions

  • Start with 20 oz ground beef (80% lean), browned and drained.
  • Substitute bone broth for the beef broth.
  • Use Rotel tomatoes for a spicy kick.
  • Try a different mix of vegetables. Frozen okra and corn is a southern tradition. California blends use cauliflower, broccoli, and carrots.
  • Add red beans or garbanzo beans instead of white beans
  • Omit the beans all together and add potatoes. Use new or red potatoes and cut them in half before adding to the slow cooker.
