Vegetable beef soup is so easy to make for the slow cooker or crock pot, chock full of stew beef, healthy vegetables and a tomato broth.
Vegetable Beef Soup
By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
Today I have my recipe for vegetable beef soup which is done in the crock pot or slow cooker. I have always enjoyed a good soup like this with a small stack of saltines for as long as I can remember.
This is such a comforting soup that is totally dependable and is clean homestyle eating at its best. Clean eating might be a trend of recent years, but moms everywhere have been making this kind of thing forever. Chock full of vegetables and hearty beef, it makes a great light meal by itself or as something to tuck into lunches. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
What else has been going on- I’ve been teaming up with the bloggers of #FoodieExtavaganza to celebrate National Popcorn Day (which falls later this month) with my recipe for Popcorn Corn Bread. OMG! I totally know how weird it sounds. But you guys are going to like it, I know. It’s really not so weird when you see it. And another recipe is one I did for #SoupWeek- my Cheat ‘n’ Eat Vietnamese soup which some of you have tried from when I posted that at Food. Be sure to check both of these out!
