Slow Cooker Italian Beef Soup

Italian Beef Soup Recipe

Sometimes, a girl just has to have soup.  At least I do anyway!  This Italian Beef Soup Recipe is definitely a delicious soup for me.  It’s even one I could lose weight on if I wanted to!

 

The reason I decided to make this soup is simple.  I wanted to save money and cook with ingredients I already had on hand.  Since we buy a side of beef from our local farmer, our freezer is typically pretty packed with different cuts of beef.  When I went digging to see what all we had left, I found several packages of stew meat.  I always love how easy it is to throw stew meat into a quick slow cooker soup.

We always shop at Aldi for the majority of our groceries, because it saves us a ton of money, for our large family, and I already had cans of white beans, beef broth, diced tomatoes and carrots in my pantry,.  Those are regular staples for us, that I typically pick up any time I do our big monthly grocery shopping trip.  Since I cook from scratch all the time, my spice cabinet is pretty well stocked as well.

Anyway, I had tried to make this soup using the slow cooker option on my Instant Pot, but I ended up not doing it correctly and when it was time to eat, it wasn’t ready yet.  The carrots were still crunchy!  So, instead of freaking out, I decided to pressure cook it in the Instant Pot the rest of the way.  It turned out fabulous!  I just cooked it for 20 more minutes on Manual mode and that was perfect.  This was after cooking for 4 hours on what I thought was high, using the slow cooker setting.

 

This recipe is part of one of my Freezer to Slow Cooker Subscription Plan weekly menus.  (Sidenote:  There’s currently 400+ happy subscribers who have joined the subscription and it’s growing steadily every day!) .

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

  • Dawn S.Buyer of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebook Series
    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
