Ingredients
- 2 lbs Beef Chuck Roast, cubed*
- 1 Tbsp Butter
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 3 Cloves Garlic, minced
- 4 Large Carrots, diced
- 4 oz (about 1 Cup) Mushrooms, quartered
- 1 Large Onion, diced
- 1 Cup Celery, diced
- 4 Large Potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 Cups Green Beans (fresh or frozen)
- 2 Cups Peas (frozen)
- 2 Cups Beef Bone Broth
- 1 Pint Tomato Sauce
- 3 tsp Real Salt
- 1 tsp Ground Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Dried Oregano
- 1 tsp Dried Parsley
Instructions
- In a large cast iron skillet on medium-medium high heat, brown cubed beef roast with 1 Tbsp. Butter, 1 Tbsp. Olive Oil, and 3 Cloves of minced Garlic. Brown about 7-8 minutes.
- While beef is browning, peel potatoes and dice them along with mushrooms, onion, and celery and set aside in a large mixing bowl. Do not add peas yet, we will stir those into the soup 1/2 hour before serving so that they stay bright green and do not get mushy.
- Once beef has browned, remove from the pan, and place into a crockpot. Add 1 Tbsp. Olive Oil to the beef drippings left in the pan and sauté vegetables 5 minutes. Sautéing the beef and vegetables helps to lock in the flavor. Stir in 3 tsp Salt, 1 tsp Black Pepper, 1 tsp Dried Oregano, and 1 tsp Dried Parsley. Then, mix in 1 pint of tomato sauce and stir together.
- Add sautéed vegetables to crockpot then mix the beef and vegetables together. Next mix in beef bone broth.
- Cover crockpot and turn crockpot on low. Cook soup 7-8 hours until soup is hot and bubbly and everything is tender. 1/2 hour before serving, stir in 2 Cups of peas.
- Soup will naturally thicken because of the potatoes. Allowing the soup to cook in the crockpot all day ensures maximum flavor, however you can also make this recipe on the stovetop by simmering for at least two hours until flavors combine and everything is tender.
- Store soup refrigerated and consume within 5 days.
Notes
*If you don't have a roast on hand, feel free to substitute ground beef in this recipe. Make sure you brown it according to recipe instructions just as you would the roast.
**Do not skip browning the beef in this recipe. Browning the meat locks in flavor and juices. Another important thing to note is that if you add raw meat to the crockpot to cook in the soup, it will develop a strange bloody broth layer on top. To avoid this, make sure you brown the beef before adding to the crockpot.

Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Easy Crockpot Vegetable Beef Soup
In a large cast iron pan, brown cubed beef roast with butter, olive oil, and garlic.
While beef is cooking, chop the vegetables. Once the beef is browned, remove the beef from pan to place in the crockpot. Leave drippings in the pan and add 1 tbsp. Olive Oil. Set on stove burner turned to medium heat and add the vegetables (except peas) to sauté 5 minutes. Stir in Real Salt, Ground Black Pepper, Dried Oregano, and Dried Parsley. Then, stir in the tomato sauce.
Once vegetables have been sautéed, add them to the crockpot. Stir everything together then add in the beef bone broth.
Allow soup to simmer on low for 7-8 hours. 1/2 hour before serving, stir in peas. This ensures the peas stay nice and green and will keep them from getting overly mushy.
