Slow Cooker Chunky Beef Vegetable Soup Recipe

My slow cooker is working overtime this time of year. I LOVE just dumping everything in the slow cooker and having dinner ready without any fuss. This Slow Cooker Chunky Beef Vegetable Soup is perfect for cool Fall nights. It is loaded with tons of veggies and stew meat. It is a cross between a beef stew and vegetable soup. It is also really delicious!!! All you need is a some cornbread and you are ready for dinner!

I used green beans, corn, lima beans, green peas, carrots, celery, onions and diced tomatoes for the vegetables in this soup. If you aren’t a fan of any of these, just swap it out for your favorite veggie. Okra, field peas, squash – whatever you like, toss it in!

This makes a TON of soup. We ate this for dinner and leftover for lunch the next day. We still had some soup leftover, so I froze it for a quick meal later.

This Slow Cooker Chunky Beef Vegetable Soup would be great for watching football or before/after Trick-or-Treating later this month.
