Crockpot Vegetable Beef Soup

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.

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.
