Beef Vegetable Garlic Soup

kzbhansen's Note:

I have seen alot of Beef vegie soups but not like this one. I like to use leftover Roast beef or get some at the deli. I sometimes make in crockpot for 8-12 hours on low. You may need to check on it. The potatoes thicken it and the tomatoes give body to the broth.

• Total Time: 2 hrs 30 mins
• Prep Time: 30 mins
• Cook Time: 2 hrs

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 1/2 lb ground sirloin or 1/2 lb sliced roast beef, leftover

4. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. (Crockpot put on high for about an hour).

6. The longer you simmer the thicker the soup will be.
7. In a crockpot cook on low about 8-10 hours checking after about 6 hours to check the thickness.
8. The potatoes help to thicken this soup and the tomatoes give body to the broth.

This soup was absolutely delicious. Yummy for the tummy. I love soups and this one is a keeper. I used about 1 lb of fresh sirloin cubes, I browned it with some flour and seasoning salt and garlic powder then added everything else. I used about 8 cups of beef broth and after adding 3 potatoes I found it to be plenty. Guess it depends on the size of the potatoes. The house sure smelled great after simmering for about 2 hours. Such a delicious flavor. Thanks for the post of this great recipe Karen. Stay strong.

This is a delicious, hearty, satisfying, simple to make stew! I used 1 lb of cubed stew beef and feel like there wasn't quite enough beef for my liking. I think 2 lbs would be perfect.

This was sooo good!!!! I made a large pot and shared it with my mom and sister. Even my boyfriend liked it and he is very picky. I used sirloin beef cubes (fresh) and added 1 cup of wine instead of the 1/2 cup. Definately will keep this available and will make again.
