This savory soup, perfect for chilly days, offers a comforting and satisfying meal that's rich in flavor and texture. By allowing the soup to cook slowly, you'll enhance the flavors and ensure the beef is tender and delicious.
- For extra depth of flavor, sear the beef in the olive oil until well-browned before adding it to the slow cooker.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Consider adding a splash of red wine or Worcestershire sauce for an extra layer of flavor.
- If you prefer a thicker soup, reduce the amount of water or allow the soup to cook uncovered for the last hour to let some of the liquid evaporate.
- Feel free to add more vegetables such as potatoes, green beans, or mushrooms to suit your taste preferences.
- This soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
