RICH AND HEARTY CROCK POT VEGETABLE BEEF SOUP
This soup recipe was nabbed from another recipe site, and then modifed by me. It makes a lovely, rich and fulfilling soup, one of my all time favorite crockpot dishes! The beauty of it is it makes a delightfully satisfying vegetable soup, so feel free to leave out the beef, if you prefer. I added the cayenne pepper and hot sauce, which gives it a nice kick (you can also use Spicy V8 Juice instead of the tomatoe juice, and then omit the cayenne pepper and hot sauce).

Steps:
- 1. Dice your celery, carrots and potatoes set aside. Dice your onions in separate bowl, set aside. Make sure your beef stew pieces are smaller in size to ensure even cooking.
- 2. Add your veggies to your crockpot. In a saute pan, add your oil & butter. Once heated, add your stew meat. Saute till no longer pink, than add your onions. Saute for 1-2 more minutes. Remove and add to crockpot as well.

EASY HEARTY BEEF VEGETABLE SOUP
This is one of our favorites in the winter. My family loves it served with sweet cornbread. You can't hardly go wrong with veggie soup. Frozen veggies can be substituted for canned, just use about the same amount of ounces(approx. 45 ounces), canned tomatoes (I use home canned), barley for lentils, ground beef for sirloin...

HEARTY VEGETABLE BEEF SOUP -- OH SO FLAVORFUL
The secret of a Memorable Vegetable Beef Soup is the selection and preparation of the beef. I use "Choice" rather than "Select" Grade Beef. My personal choice is a pre-roasted Chuck Roast, due to its flavorful fat content, cooked to the point of falling apart. Then chilled overnight to make it easy to cube the size of the "Dice"...

Steps:
- 1. I use pre-roasted chuck roast for this soup because of its texture and flavor. When you get a piece of beef on the spoon you can savor it. You could use any beef of your choice, Even hamburger. But -- I've stated my choice. Nicely cubed.
- 2. I chill the cooked roast overnight so that it can be cubed nicely.
- 3. You can prepare in a large soup kettle or the crock pot. I like the convenience of the crock pot.
- 4. Add the three cans of beef broth to the crock pot. Cube the beef. Add all other ingredients. Cook on high for one hour. then on low for 2 to 3 hours. Use salt and pepper lightly, and adjust near end of cooking time. I'm a low salt cook. Folks can add salt and pepper when served.
- 5. If you are fond of certain veggies use more of them. If you want a tomato based soup add the can of tomato sauce at the start. It's delicious with or without the tomato sauce. You could pick two or so of the options.
- 6. Serve with a nice French or Italian Bread or Baguette. Serve and enjoy. This freezes well. It is hearty enough that a little additional water or beef broth can be added when reheating from the freezer to make up for the ingredients absorbing the broth.
- 7. Enjoy!! Happy Cooking, Gary
- 8. NOTE: The reserved juices from the roast with fats removed is an excellent addition, However I usually use the juices for gravy for the roast beef dinner or for hot beef sandwiches. To de-fat the juices chill in the fridge and the fats will congeal on top and can be removed easily.The remaining stock is loaded with flavor and would be an excellent addition to the soup.

Steps:
- Cut up the chuck roast and all the vegetables as directed in the ingredients section. Add the olive oil to a large stock pot and place the chuck cubes in the bottom to brown over medium high heat. When half browned add all the seasonings and onion.
- Continue stirring and browning about 5 minutes and add the green beans, water, and carrots. Let it come to a slow boil and add all the other vegetables. Add a little more water if necessary to cover all the items well and add about an inch more in the pot depending on how tall it is.
- Turn down the heat to medium low and continue to simmer for about 45 minutes - stirring occasionally. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose the right vegetables: Use a variety of vegetables that will hold their shape when cooked, such as carrots, celery, potatoes, and green beans. Avoid vegetables that will easily overcook, such as spinach and tomatoes.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
- Brown the beef before adding it to the soup: This will help to develop its flavor.
- Use a good quality beef broth: This will make a big difference in the flavor of the soup.
- Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
