How To Make Slow Cooker Vegetable Beef Soup

Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add cubed chuck roast to the skillet season with salt and pepper and cook until browned on the outside. Place the browned beef into the bowl of your slow cooker.

Recipe Tips

Chuck roast lends itself well to slow cooking. Make sure you cut your roast into even, bite-sized pieces so that they cook evenly.
Ground beef can be used for this soup to keep it simple.
Swap out white potatoes for sweet potatoes
I love the flavor that fire-roasted tomatoes lend this soup, it gives it a little spice. You can use any canned tomato in this recipe, even tomato sauce.
Try to use low-sodium beef broth if possible.
I know not everyone likes kale, feel free to swap out the kale, and use spinach instead. Be sure to add your greens at the end of your cook time to keep it vibrant and to keep it from getting too soft.
