Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 1 ½ pounds cubed beef stew meat

Liquids & Broth

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes

Vegetables

  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 (16 ounce) package frozen mixed vegetables
  • 2 potatoes, peeled and cubed

Seasonings

  • 10 cubes beef bouillon, crumbled
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon dried basil

Instructions

  1. Prepare ingredients: Start by chopping the small onion and peeling and cubing the potatoes into bite-size pieces for even cooking.
  2. Combine in slow cooker: In your slow cooker, add the cubed beef stew meat, chopped onion, peeled and cubed potatoes, and frozen mixed vegetables.
  3. Add liquids and seasonings: Pour in the water and canned crushed tomatoes. Then add the crumbled beef bouillon cubes, ground black pepper, salt, and dried basil. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
  4. Set slow cooker: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 7 to 8 hours, or on high for 4 to 5 hours. The beef should become tender and the vegetables fully cooked.
  5. Check seasoning and serve: Before serving, taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot with your favorite bread or as a hearty meal on its own.

Notes

  • Use stew meat with some marbling for more tender, flavorful beef.
  • Frozen mixed vegetables typically include carrots, peas, green beans, and corn; feel free to substitute with fresh if preferred.
  • Adjust salt according to your taste or dietary preferences.
  • For a thicker soup, remove the lid during the last 30 minutes to allow some liquid to evaporate.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
