Slow Cooker Vegetable Beef Soup
Description
The Slow Cooker Vegetable Beef Soup starts by browning cubed chuck roast in olive oil to develop meat flavor before transferring it to the slow cooker. A mix of finely chopped potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, canned diced tomatoes, and green beans is added along with beef broth, tomato sauce, tomato paste, and seasonings including salt, garlic, parsley, paprika, and black pepper.
Cooking on low heat for 8 to 9 hours tenderizes the beef and allows the vegetables and tomato components to blend into a rich, full-flavored broth. The soup's texture is chunky with varied vegetable pieces and tender meat, offering a balanced meal in a bowl with a gentle savory taste accentuated by dried herbs and spices.
This soup is suitable for family meals and makes good use of cheaper beef cuts, transforming them into tender meat in a nutritious vegetable-packed broth. It reheats well and can be portioned for multiple meals.
