Slow Cooker Beef Vegetable Soup


This almost-effortless, slow-cooker soup will be something you will love to come home to after work or wherever! I got the original recipe from campbells and made a few minor changes to suit our tastes.

Steps


Season beef with black pepper and coat with flour.
Heat oil in skillet.
Add beef and cook until browned.
Place onions , cabbage , potatoes , carrots , garlic and thyme in slow cooker.
Top with browned beef.
Mix tomato paste , coffee and 1 cup broth , making sure tomato paste is dissolved.
Pour coffee mixture and remaining broth into slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low 8-10 hours or until done.
I add salt at the end to suit our taste and stir well.
Serve with sour cream and chopped green onions , if desired.
I also save time by buying meat that has already been cut into cubes.
Sometimes i still have to cut the cubes smaller , though.
I also cut the vegetables the night before to save prep time in the morning.
