Do you crave a warm and comforting meal that's easy on your time and budget? Look no further than Vegetable Beef Soup, a hearty and flavorful dish that's perfect for busy weeknights or chilly weekends. This classic soup features tender beef, a medley of colorful vegetables, and a rich, savory broth that's sure to hit the spot.
This recipe uses affordable cuts of beef, such as chuck roast or stew meat, which become fall-apart tender as they simmer in the slow cooker. The vegetables, including carrots, celery, potatoes, and peas, add vibrant color, texture, and essential nutrients to the soup. A combination of herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, and garlic, infuses the broth with a delightful aroma and taste.
For those who prefer a thicker soup, a cornstarch slurry can be added towards the end of the cooking time to create a velvety consistency. Alternatively, you can use a potato masher to partially mash some of the vegetables, adding a creamy texture to the soup.
This Vegetable Beef Soup is not only delicious but also versatile. Feel free to customize it with your favorite vegetables or add a touch of spice with a dash of cayenne pepper or chili powder. You can also experiment with different types of beef, such as ground beef or short ribs, to create a unique and satisfying variation.
So whether you're a seasoned home cook or just starting your culinary journey, this Vegetable Beef Soup is sure to become a staple in your kitchen. Grab your slow cooker and let's get started on this comforting and budget-friendly dish!

Steps:
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium high. Add the beef and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and pepper. Brown the beef on all sides, disturbing it as little as possible on each side so that it develops nice coloring. Once the beef is lightly browned (it won't be all the way cooked through), remove it to a 6-quart slow cooker.
- To the pan, add the onion. Cook and stir until the onion is beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and let cook 30 seconds. Splash in about 1/2 cup the beef broth and scrape up any browned bits that have stuck to the bottom (this is flavor!). Let the broth reduce for 2 minutes, then transfer the entire mixture to the slow cooker.
- To the slow cooker, add the carrots, potatoes, parsnips, and celery.
- Add the diced tomatoes in their juices, tomato sauce, tomato paste, Worcestershire, oregano, paprika, sugar, 2 1/2 cups beef broth, and remaining 1 teaspoon salt.
- Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, until the beef and vegetables are tender. Stir in the peas, just until warmed through. If the soup is thicker than you would like, add the remaining 1 cup beef broth until you reach your desired consistency. Serve hot, sprinkled with fresh parsley.

HOMEMADE VEGETABLE BEEF SOUP
My mom made this soup when I was young. I have always loved her soups. When I was able to start cooking by myself I fell in love and have added and taken items away, but my fiance love my soups. And he isn't even big on soups. I hope your family enjoys the soup as much as mine does.

VEGETABLE BEEF SOUP (CROCKPOT)
The best vegetable beef soup I have ever had. I have been making this for over 20 years and it is that perfect soup to warm your soul. It is very hearty and filling, but very low in fat and good for you. It cooks all day in the crockpot, so you have very little work to do. Enjoy it as much as I do! I prefer to use fresh green beans in the soup, but if you want to use frozen that is fine. I have one friend who throws in an 10 oz pks of frozen mixed veggie, but I like the fresh veggies better. Cooking time reflects how long it needs to be in the crockpot.

GRANDMA'S SLOW COOKER BEEF AND VEGETABLE SOUP
My grandma made this soup. She said it was something they made way back when, out of whatever they had available in their garden and shelves. It is a large dish (they were a family of 10), so have a big pot or slow cooker! I have halved it and honed it a little since most of us use a grocery now and don't have 8 kids.

- Brown the beef before adding it to the soup: This will help to develop the flavor of the beef and prevent it from becoming tough.
- Use a good quality beef broth: The quality of the beef broth you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. Look for a broth that is made with real beef bones and vegetables.

- Let the soup simmer for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the soup, the better it will taste.
