Vegetable And Ground Beef Soup Crock Pot Recipe

This Crockpot Ground Beef Vegetable Soup is one of the best dump and go dinners for busy weeknights! All you need is cooked ground beef, vegetables, and broth to make this delicious soup!! It is delicious fall comfort food and one of those recipes that even the picky eaters will love!

This soup has been a staple in our house since 2021, and it is for good reasons. The main reason is how easy it is to put together, and it’s also amazing for leftovers and meal prep. With crazy schedules with kids and life in general, the crockpot is my best friend in the kitchen. It’s high protein and packed with vegetables. But don’t worry, the vegetables are easy for the pickiest of eaters to pick out if they need to.

Vegetable And Ground Beef Soup Crockpot Ingredients:

• Ground Beef– The pound of ground beef must be fully cooked and drained of grease before starting the recipe. To make this a zero-point or healthier recipe, use 93% lean or higher.
• Frozen Mixed Vegetables– Mix frozen corn, green beans, or any vegetable variety combination if your kids are pickier.
• Beef Broth
• Onion– You can also use onion powder if your kids won’t eat onions or chop them larger for kids to pick out.
• Celery – You can omit this or cut the celery larger for kids to pick out if they don’t eat celery.
• Sliced Potatoes– I used canned but you can also use fresh
• Tomato Paste
• Montreal Steak Seasoning 
• Salt and Black Pepper 

How To Make vegetable soup with ground beef

Start by cooking your ground beef, if needed, and drain to remove the grease.

Spray your crockpot with a nonstick cooking spray or use a crockpot liner bag, you need at least an 8 quart crockpot for this recipe. If you didn’t know, the liners are a thing for easy cleanup; grab some -> here on Amazon)

Whisk the tomato paste into the broth. I feel this helps to make it spread more uniformly in the dish.

Chop the celery and onion. If you have picky eaters, cut the pieces bigger; the cut size is up to you.

Add all the ingredients to your crockpot; the frozen vegetables will be added frozen.

Stir everything well, then turn your crockpot to low. 

Cook the soup for about 5 hours. You could cook on high, but I love the flavor of food cooked on low. If cooking on high cut the cooking time in half.

Serve and enjoy! 

How to Store Crock Pot Vegetable Soup with ground beef and frozen vegetables

After cooling, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days. The fat from the meat may form a layer on top of the soup in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave or in a small pot on the stove.

You can freeze this for up to three months after proper cooling.

Alternate Ingredients:

• Protein Pasta- this will increase the protein in this recipe and also make it more filling. I would cook them first and add the last 30 minutes.
• Bone Broth- will also increase the protein as well.
• Canned Tomatoes
• Swap out for any frozen vegetables or canned vegetables in this soup.
• Cooked ground chicken, sausage, or turkey
