Vegetable Beef Soup: Cozy And Comforting

I’m sure that every family has its own version of vegetable soup. Whether it’s made with or without beef, maybe with chicken or just veggies alone, almost everyone I know has a fond memory of a warm bowl of homemade vegetable soup.

I’m no different, but recently I’ve made a few changes to the classic recipe I grew up loving. I cook my soup slow and low in the Crock Pot, and I add a seasoning blend that takes it to a whole new level.

What Goes In Vegetable Beef Soup

• Ground Chuck – cubed chuck roast, or beef stew meat can be used instead of ground beef.
• Spicy Seasoning blend – I use Dano’s Natural seasoning, but you can use your favorite blend.
• Onion
• Potatoes – I use Russet potatoes, but you can also use Yukon gold or red potatoes are great as well.
• Crushed Tomatoes
• Rotel Tomatoes And Chilies
• Frozen Mixed Vegetables – I use a mix that includes carrots, green beans, corn, and peas.
• DAN-O’S Original All-Natural Seasoning – bay leaves, oregano, basil, and parsley can be substituted instead of the seasoning blend.
• Beef Broth
• Water
• Salt
• Fresh Cracked Pepper

Equipment Needed

Making vegetable beef soup has never been easier thanks to the in the slow cooker. I use an 8 quart Crock Pot. You’ll also need a cast iron or heavy bottom skillet to cook the ground chuck in.
