    Why You'll Love This Crockpot Ground Beef Vegetable Soup Recipe

    • You will love this recipe because it is a set-and-forget meal!
    • Easy prep, and then straight into the slow cooker.
    • Great recipe to double or triple and freeze for later.
    • Crockpot Ground Beef Vegetable Soup Recipe takes the one pot meal to the next level, because this pot cooks by itself.
    • I know we all love a quick pressure cooker soup, but when time allows, a leisurely slow cooker dish is great.

    Ingredients and Substitutions

    All of the ingredients for Crockpot Ground Beef Vegetable Soup Recipe.
    • Use ½ lb ground beef or extra lean ground beef.
    • In a pinch, you could use tomato sauce if you don't have diced tomatoes. The flavor will be a bit different.
    • Frozen vegetables are the easiest but fresh vegetables are just fine.
    • Fresh green beans would work well. I would also add a bay leaf and a little Italian seasoning if using green beans.
    • If you like bell peppers, use them. Add a little garlic or onion powder.
    • Exchange the potato for a sweet potato.
    • Sprinkle fresh parsley over the soup when serving for a little fresh element.

    Food Storage Tips

    This should be eaten within one day of cooking. Store in the refrigerator or in the freezer in a freezer-safe container. I really like the zipper bags that stand so that you can fill them easily, then flatten them out in the freezer. They take up very little freezer space this way.

    Expert Tips

    The best tip for slow cooker soups is to have everything cut to similar sizes. If you have large carrots and small potatoes, the carrots will not be done at the same time. I generally cut my potatoes a little larger for the slow cooker because they tend to disintegrate over long cooking times. Onions dissolve in the slow cooker as well. I like the whole frozen pearl onions, dropped in about an hour from the finish time. They have time to cook but don't fall apart.

    Perfect Pairings

    Perfect pairings with this soup would be a hearty red wine and a big chunk of crusty bread and butter. Check out Glass Half Full's Fall Soup and Wine Pairings for specific varieties.
