Slow Cooker Vegetable Beef Soup

It is finally fall, and I’ve been pulling out the slow cooker quite a bit already. It is so easy to toss something together in the morning and have a hot meal ready by dinner. Not having to babysit the stove or oven is such a huge help to me.

I’ve been having more than my fair share of nights that dinner sneaks up on me. I’d love to be more organized and have a meal plan and KNOW what’s for dinner every night, but lately there just hasn’t been the time for it.

That’s why I LOVE these “toss ’em and forget ’em” types of dinners like this slow cooker vegetable beef soup. Meat + veggies + stock = some awesome soup that even the kids can dig into.

The key to really great slow cooking is to season well, and sear first. It takes a little more time than if you just pitch the meat right into your crockpot, but the flavor is so worth it.

Find some well-marbled stew meat, or if you find a good roast on sale you can always cut your own.

Vegetable Beef Soup FAQ

Can this dish be made in advance?

ONLY put in as much pasta as you will eat in one night because the noodles do NOT hold up to leftovers. If I have some time to babysit the stove, a lot of times I will even cook the noodles on the stovetop and add them into individual bowls.
