Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb beef stew meat (or chuck roast, cut into cubes)
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups diced potatoes (about 2 medium potatoes)
- 1 cup diced carrots (about 2 medium carrots)
- 1 cup diced celery (about 2 stalks)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
- Dice the potatoes, carrots, celery, and onion. Mince the garlic.
Step 2: Add to the Crockpot
- In your Crockpot, add the beef stew meat, potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, diced tomatoes, and frozen peas.
Step 3: Add the Broth and Seasonings
- Pour in the beef broth and water. Add the bay leaf, thyme, basil, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together to combine.
Step 4: Cook the Soup
- Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours, or until the vegetables are tender and the beef is cooked through.
- Alternatively, cook on high for 4-5 hours.
Step 5: Serve
- Once the soup is done, remove the bay leaf and adjust the seasoning if needed. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot.
Notes
- Use Chuck Roast: If using chuck roast, cut it into small cubes. It becomes tender as it cooks slowly in the Crockpot.
- Customize the Vegetables: Feel free to swap in other vegetables you like, such as zucchini, corn, or green beans.
- Thicken the Soup: If you prefer a thicker soup, you can mash some of the potatoes in the soup or add a bit of cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with water) towards the end of cooking.
