Crockpot Vegetable Beef Soup
During a romantic weekend away, Gregg and I took a crockpot with us and made a vegetable beef soup that we were able to eat for lunch all weekend. It was absolutely wonderful, and tasty, and went perfectly with the cheese platters that Gregg prepared.
Ingredients
Method
- Salt and pepper the meat.
- Dice the potatoes.
- Slice the carrots and parsnips.
- Cut the onion into bite sized wedges.
- Brown the meat in a pan or on a George Forman grill. It’s not necessary to cook it all the way through.
- Put it in the crockpot with the vegetables. Do not drain the vegetables; add them with their juices from the cans.
- Add enough water to cover all of the ingredients.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook for 8 hours on low.

Notes
Easily 8 servings, maybe 10.
You can cook this in a stock pot on your stove over low heat for about 4 hours.
I cooked this in a hotel room with no stove, so I browned the meat on my George Forman grill. At home, I would have dredged the meat in flour after salting and peppering, then put some olive oil in the bottom of a frying pan and browned the meat, adding it and all of the oil and scrapings from the pan into the crockpot.
Good to know that we both like Nancy Drew & Hardy Boys. my first crushes was Scott Baio and Shaun…
