Crockpot Beef Soup

Winter is the time for soup and stew! This is probably one of my favorite aspects about this season because it makes cooking deliciously simple. Tossing a bunch of yummy ingredients in a crockpot in the morning and letting it cook all day or cooking it overnight is my idea of easy cooking! This beef soup will become a favorite. Eat it with a loaf of bread, or freeze it for the new or expecting family.

Crockpot beef stew recipe
1 pound stew beef
1 medium white onion roughly chopped
1 cup thawed corn
1 cup thawed peas
1 1/2 cups thawed green beans
Three large carrots sliced thin
1/4 c flour
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons olive oil
One bouillon cube
Two bay leaves
2 1/2 cups Beef broth
2 1/2 cups vegetable broth
Optional - Whole garlic cloves from one head of garlic
Note: whole cooked garlic cloves are so good for your immune system. If they are cooked whole, their taste is very mild.

Combine all wet ingredients, spices and flour first. Give a good stir. All the rest of the ingredients into your crockpot, mix with your spoon, and let it be. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. Occasionally give your soup a stir. This soup in fantastic with some bread and butter warmed in the oven for a delicious wholesome meal.
Enjoy!
