Slow Cooker Beef and Vegetable Stew
This slow cooker beef and vegetable stew is my very favorite way to eat a lot of vegetables. If you’ve read aby of my other soup posts you know how much I love a good hearty and chunky soup. This soup is basically the heartiest of all the soups. I love this soup because I can have this for lunch basically all week after making it because it’s basically impossible to make a beef and vegetable soup that’s small.
