Slow Cooker Beef Vegetable Soup
- This can be made in the slow cooker but you’ll still want to start out by browning your steak or beef, adding flour, then sautéing the carrots, onions, celery and mushrooms. You’ll pour both of those mixtures into a large slow cooker along with everything else.Cook on low until beef and potatoes are tender, about 6 – 7 hours, then add any frozen vegetables you want to add and heat through.
