Best Cut of Meat for Slow Cooker Soup
Because the meat will be cooking in broth in the crockpot for a long time you can use a cheap cut of meat. I personally like to use stew meat but you can also use chuck roast or whatever meat is on sale at the store. Just cut it into 1-inch pieces before adding it to the slow cooker. I have also made this say slow cooker soup recipe with ground beef when I have been in a pinch.
Can I make Vegetable beef soup ahead of time?
Yes! This soup is a great make ahead soup. This homemade soup will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. Just store it in an airtight container. If you are planning on taking it to work or school for lunches you can store this soup in single serve containers to make packing it easier.
Variations of this Recipe
Change up the grain. If you are not a fan of barley then you can leave it out and instead add 1 cup of rice, Buckwheat, or quinoa. Do not cook them before putting them into the slow cooker.
Change up the veggies. If you prefer to use different veggies in your soup, you can use them instead of the ones that I used. I prefer to use frozen with fresh onions so it is easier to make and I use a bag of frozen mixed veggies and a bag of frozen soup veggies. If you are using fresh veggies I suggest using peas, carrots, onions, green beans, lima beans, okra and corn. If you are a canned veggie household you can use those too.
Make it Low Carb. However, we add barley to this recipe if you want a low carb vegetable beef soup then skip adding the barley. You will also want to skip adding corn to the soup if you are making it low carb.
