Instructions

  • Put all ingredients except the stock and water into a 3 quart slow cooker.

Notes

Nutritional information is an estimate.  It will vary based the brands of ingredients used and on your cooking methods.
For the beef I typically will cook a beef roast at least one day prior to making the soup.  I will save and strain the broth before I put in the fridge overnight.  Before putting it in the soup, I remove the set fat.  I put the broth in the slow cooker cold from the fridge.
You can substitute: 1 pound of cooked and drained ground beef or you can use cooked stew beef.
You can add other vegetables or change the ones in the recipe.  I have added in zucchini and diced tomatoes too.
This soup tastes better reheated.
It freezes great!  Just thaw it out and heat it up to serve.
