Vegetable Beef Soup Ingredients

Ingredient list for vegeatable beef soup all in clear glass containers.
  • Ground chuck: this is similar to ground beef but is a bit fattier, which gives the soup more flavor. Beef stew meat or cubed chuck roast can be used if you like.
  • Vegetables: onion, potatoes (red potatoes or russet potatoes), crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and frozen vegetables (carrots, green beans, and peas) make up the veggies in this soup.
  • The seasoning – my Southern Soul House Seasoning is the best choice for bringing all of the flavors together. You can add red or black pepper for added spice as well.
  • The broth: to make the broth, you will need beef broth and water.
  • For the garnish: fresh chopped parsley or chives are my favorite.

Equipment For Crock Pot Vegetable Beef Soup Recipe

Making this homemade vegetable beef soup in the crock pot with frozen vegetables has never been easier, thanks to 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.
