Slow Cooker Beef Soup Recipe

Step 1

In a large nonstick skillet, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat. Place the meat in a large bowl and season with half of the salt and black pepper. Transfer meat to the hot oil and sear for 5 minutes on each side.

Step 2

Remove seared beef from the skillet and transfer to the 6-quart (6 L) slow cooker. Add the rest of seasoning, vegetables, and bay leaves.

Step 3

Pour water into the skillet and scrap up any browned bits. Pour the water into the pot.

Step 4

Cover the cooker and cook on low-hat setting for 8 hours or until beef and vegetables are cooked through.

Step 5

Turn off the cooker and open the lid. Stir beef soup well. Ladle into soup bowls. Sprinkle with chopped green onions. Serve hot.
