How to make this Homemade Vegetable Beef Soup Recipe

There are different ways of making this vegetable beef soup recipe. You can make it on a stovetop, slow cooker or crockpot, or an instant pot. The technique is mostly similar so I will be showing you how to make it on stovetop and slow cooker.

SLOW COOKER

A great way to make your vegetable beef soup ahead and let it slow cook while you grab the kids from school or rush them to their activities and come back to dinner ready to be served! This is what you need and what you should do:

• Beef: Since you are using a slow cooker, no need to spend too much money on expensive meat. Chuck Roast will work just fine. Brown or cook the beef in a skillet to give it some extra flavor, cut it up and at it into the slow cooker. This is optional but really recommended for the best flavor.
• Vegetables: Dig up those veggies in your fridge and its time to use them up. Add in your favorite veggies. I recommend using fresh or frozen veggies.
• Broth: Beef or veggie broth would work great. You could always use water if you don't have any broth and add in some spices for flavor.
• Sauce Base: Tomato sauce works best for a nice tomato base for this homemade vegetable beef soup. Don't have tomato sauce, you can use some paste.
• Cook:once everything is added into the slow cooker, add in some salt and pepper and then close it. Let is cook on low for 7-8 hours until everything is tender and juicy!

STOVETOP

This method works great for some. It's quite easy to make this homemade vegetable beef soup right on your stovetop and not have to worry about a slow cooker or instant pot. Believe or not some people just can't be bothered using a slow cooker or instant pot.

I will keep this short and sweet! Or if you need the step by step scroll to the recipe card below.

• Get the meat ready by browning it right in the pot you will be using for a few minutes.
• Add everything else in. Literally, this will still work. Very easy!
• Bring to boil, cover the pot and allow to cook on medium heat for about 20-25 minutes.
• Ready to serve dinner!

WHAT CUT OF BEEF IS BEST FOR SOUP

The best cuts of meat to use for any soup would be chuck roast or sirloin steak. They always result in tender juicy meat when cooked in soups. Chuck roast can be a bit tough to cook and needs time to get it tender so it is best to use it when you are using a slow cooker to cook your beef soup recipe. But the result is tender flaky melt in your mouth beef!

WHAT IS GOOD WITH VEGETABLE BEEF SOUP

For a more filling soup, you can add some pre-cooked rice to your homemade vegetable beef soup. There are other great options for you:

• Sourdough bread or cornbread
• Dinner rolls
• Grilled Cheese
• Side of salad
• Crackers
• Appetizers like mini pizza bites

CAN YOU FREEZE VEGETABLE BEEF SOUP

Absolutely. If you have leftovers, you can either store in a big and tightly sealed container to freeze or divide it up into smaller containers. Remove from the freezer when ready to eat and either allow to thaw in the fridge a night before or defrost in the microvae a bit before reheating on your stovetop. Frozen beef soup should last up until 6 months.

HOW DO YOU THICKEN VEGETABLE BEEF SOUP

The easiest way to thicken your homemade vegetable beef soup is to use some sort of flour. Use about 1-2 tablespoons of any flour you have handy, white or wheat. Mix or dissolve in about 1/2 cup of cold water and pour it into the soup. This will allow the soup to thicken as it bowls for another 5-10 minutes.
