    Beef and vegetables are a wonderful combination, especially in soup form! Ground beef provides richness and heartiness, while vegetables add color, flavor, and nutrients. And it can all be made with the help of your slow cooker.

    The slow cooker is one of the best ways to make soup because it's so easy and hands-off. You can simply set it and forget it, which is ideal when you're busy or don't want to spend much time in the kitchen.

    Plus, slow cookers help to bring out the flavor of ingredients, making them even more delicious than if they were cooked on the stove.

    This slow cooker vegetable beef soup is perfect for a cold day or when you need an easy meal that is warm, comforting, and makes great leftovers!

    Ingredients You’ll Need

    • Garlic, Celery, and Onion - These vegetables provide aromatic flavor throughout the dish.
    • Russet Potatoes - Adds a healthy starch along with texture.

    How To Make Beef & Vegetable Soup In The Crock Pot

    Cook the ground beef and onions: Add the ground beef and onions to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Break up the ground beef with a spatula and cook until the meat is browned. Drain off excess fat and add the mixture to a 6-quart slow cooker.

    Assemble the soup: Add the rest of the ingredients to the crock pot EXCEPT the frozen vegetables and stir until fully combined.

    Cover and cook: Add the lid to the top and cook the soup on HIGH for 2-3 hours or LOW for 4-6 hours or until potatoes are fork-tender.

    Add frozen vegetables: 30 minutes before the cooking time is up, add the frozen vegetables to the slow cooker and cook for the remaining 30 minutes or until the frozen vegetables are tender.

    Serve and enjoy: Remove bay leaf, then ladle into bowls and serve hot. Enjoy!

    Cooking Tips

    • The ground beef should be cooked in a pound beforehand to render off the fat and brown it to the perfect texture.
    • Be sure to cut the potatoes into bite-size pieces so they cook evenly throughout the soup.
    • Feel free to add additional vegetables to this soup, such as carrots, green beans, corn, or peas.
    • If you want a thinner soup, add additional beef broth until it reaches your desired consistency. Add additional potatoes or cook uncovered for 30 minutes if you want a thicker soup.
    • If you don't have Italian seasoning, you can combine thyme, basil, oregano, and rosemary.

    Variations

    • Instead of ground beef, use other ground meats such as turkey, chicken, lamb, or pork.
    • If you're looking for a vegetarian option, leave out the ground beef and use additional vegetables or a meatless broth.
    • Add a can of rinsed and drained kidney beans for an extra dose of protein and fiber.
    • Add a tablespoon of red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar to the soup for more flavor.
    • If you don't have a slow cooker, this soup can be made on the stovetop by cooking everything in a large pot over medium heat until the potatoes are tender, about 30-45 minutes.
    • Additional toppings such as shredded cheese, chopped green onions, or sour cream make a great addition to this soup.

    Storing & Freezing

    Storing: Cooled leftover soup can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.

    Freezing: This soup can be frozen in freezer-safe bags or containers for up to three months. Be sure to let the soup cool completely before freezing. When ready to enjoy, thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat on the stove over medium heat until warm.

    FAQ

    Can I use fresh vegetables instead of frozen?

    Yes, you can use fresh vegetables instead of frozen ones. Just be sure to cook them for the appropriate amount of time so they are tender when the soup is done cooking.

    What type of beef should I use?

    You can use any type of beef that you like. Ground chuck or ground round will work well in this recipe.

    Do I have to cook the beef before adding it to the slow cooker?

    Yes, it is best to cook the beef beforehand so you can render off the fat and brown it. This will add more flavor to the soup and keep it from getting greasy.
