Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 pound beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 large red potato, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 package (1 lb.) frozen mixed vegetables
  • 6 cups beef broth
  • 1 can (14 oz.) diced tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Cut the beef stew meat into 1-inch pieces and the red potato into 1/2-inch pieces. This ensures even cooking and tender texture in the finished soup.
  2. Combine in Slow Cooker: Place the beef pieces, red potato chunks, frozen mixed vegetables, beef broth, diced tomatoes with their juice, dried basil, salt, and black pepper into the slow cooker crock. Stir gently to distribute the ingredients evenly.
  3. Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set to HIGH for 3 1/2 to 4 hours or LOW for 6 to 7 hours, cooking until the beef is tender and vegetables are fully cooked. Avoid opening the lid during cooking to maintain temperature and moisture.
  4. Serve: Once cooking is complete, give the soup a good stir, taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then ladle into bowls and enjoy warm.

Notes

  • For a thicker soup, remove the lid for the last 30 minutes on HIGH to allow some liquid to evaporate.
  • If preferred, you can substitute beef broth with low-sodium broth to reduce sodium content.
  • Frozen mixed vegetables typically include peas, carrots, green beans, and corn, but you can use fresh or other vegetable mixes based on preference.
  • Adding a bay leaf while cooking can enhance the flavor, but be sure to remove it before serving.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
