Vegetable Beef Soup
After simmering for an hour on the stove top this soup has such a delicious rich flavor and the beef is so deliciously tender. This is a perfect comforting fall and winter soup but when you've got lots of vegetables to use up in the summer this is the recipe to make!

Note that the soup will be a little brothier than what's pictures, I like to remove some of the broth so you can see the ingredients in the soup. But with that said you can use less broth if desired or even simmer the soup uncovered during cooking (just go easy on the salt).

How to Make Vegetable Beef Soup
Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Dab beef dry with paper towels, season with salt and pepper then add half of the beef and brown about 4 minutes, turning halfway through.
Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining half of beef.
Add another 1 Tbsp oil to now empty pot then add onions, carrots, and celery then saute 3 minutes, add garlic saute 1 minute longer.
Pour in broth, tomatoes, browned beef, basil, oregano, thyme and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer, stirring once or twice throughout, for 30 minutes.
Add potatoes then continue to simmer, covered, 20 minutes (you can also add green beans with potatoes if you like them very soft).
Add green beans and simmer 15 minutes longer, or until all of the veggies and beef are tender.
Pour in corn and peas and simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes.
Mix in parsley and serve warm with fresh crusty bread for dipping if desired.
How do You Make Slow Cooker Vegetable Beef Soup?
This can be made in the slow cooker but you'll still want to start out by browning the beef, then sautéing the carrots, onions, celery and garlic. You'll pour both of those mixtures into a large slow cooker along with everything else minus the frozen veggies. Cook on low until beef and potatoes are tender, about 6 – 7 hours, then add frozen peas and corn and heat through.
How to Convert to Ground Beef?
This is such a versatile recipe. Ground beef could even be use here in place of the beef stew meat. If going that route though you won't need to simmer as long so skip the first 30 minute simmering and jump right to the step of adding the potatoes.
You could also cut up a chuck roast if that's what's on sale instead of using beef stew meat.

**1 Tbsp dried Italian seasoning can be used in place of basil, oregano and thyme.
