  1. This was delicious. But, I used a 1.20 lb. SHANK bone for soup and I seared it in skillet first, set aside..put the onions, carrots, celeery on bottom placed meat on top..followed measurements of seasonings.but I used 1/2 large can petite diced tomatoes (12 oz. Approx), and 3-4 cups of beef stock (my own homemade). About 1/2 hour later put in potatoes. Meat done on high in 5 hours, took out meat, left bone in with marrow for another hour and I put fresh green beans in the last hour..Added meat back in & put on warm til ready to eat. It needed more beef stock & less diced toma toes for my taste..it was tasting too herby, thyme, for me so more liquid took care of that!! Like the seasonings & brown sugar!! Not at aLloyd too sweet! Thank you for good recipe!!
     
  2. This soup had an excellent flavor, but the beef did not come out as tender as I would have liked. Next time I may brown it with flour and olive oil before putting it in the crockpot. I omitted the optional ingredients as well as the seasoning salt and thyme because I did not have any. I added two cloves of garlic, pressed, and increased the beef broth to 3c. as a personal preference. I also substituted all the vegetables with a 16oz. bag of mixed frozen vegetables. I will add large cubes of yukon gold potatoes next time. I think that will add to the texture of the soup, making it more of a stew. Good recipe with lots of room for customizing and expiramenting.
     
  3. Several of us cook dinner for the staff and families of the workers for our Wednesday program at church. This week's meal was beef vegetable soup and this soup was a hit! Since we had to make a a large quantity, all I did was cook the meat in the crock pot while I was gone to work and we finished it up on the stove, but it great regardless of the cooking method. Will definitely make this again. Thanks for posting Lainey. Made for Potluck Tag.
     
  4. This was a really good soup! The meat was so very tender & in contrast, the yukon potatoes held up nicely. We enjoyed their texture more than we would a regular baking potato. I used fire roasted tomatoes (what I had on hand), dark brown sugar and a cup of frozen mixed veggies which had peas, corn, green beans, carrots & lima beans. It turned out a rainy afternoon & although still hot outside, from inside our air conditioned house it looked & felt like a good day for a hearty soup! I needed to add some sea salt & cracked pepper at the table but the rest of the family didn't add anything but crackers. Thanks for posting, Lainey! :) Made & enjoyed for photo tag.
     
  5. This came out very very good. I had some stew beef thawed which worked out great. I used red potatoes, and a can of no salt stewed tomatoes which I had on hand. I also substituted a packet of Goya brand beef boullion with a cup or so of water instead of the broth. The rest I followed as posted and it truly came out great. Thanks for posting sharing - I will make this again. It was great to come home to on a snowy day.
