There is nothing quite like coming home to the smell of a hot meal waiting for you. This beef and vegetable soup is a favorite in my house because it is so easy to toss together before you head out for the day.

I love how the vegetables get perfectly tender and the beef just melts in your mouth after a few hours of slow cooking. If you have extra time, searing the beef in a pan before adding it to the pot adds a lovely depth of flavor to the broth.

🧺 Ingredients

1 pound beef chuck roast, cut into 1 inch cubes
4 cups beef broth
1 can diced tomatoes, 14 ounces
3 large carrots, peeled and sliced
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup frozen peas

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Place the cubed beef, carrots, celery, onion, potatoes, and garlic into your slow cooker.
2
Pour the beef broth and diced tomatoes over the top of the vegetables.
3
Add the dried thyme, salt, and pepper, then stir everything together until well combined.
4
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours.
5
Stir in the frozen peas during the last 15 minutes of cooking time.
6
Taste the soup and add extra salt or pepper if you think it needs it before serving.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. This soup tastes even better the next day once the flavors have had more time to meld together. You can serve this with a side of crusty bread for dipping.
