How to Make Aunt Gin's Vegetable Soup Crock Pot

  1. In a large crock-pot, combine 1 lb beef stew meat (cut into 1-inch cubes), 1 large onion (chopped), 2 carrots (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 4 cups beef broth, 1 cup chopped potatoes, 1 cup chopped green beans, 1/2 cup chopped corn, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional, to balance saltiness).
  2. Cook on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-6 hours, or until the beef is very tender.
  3. You can use home-canned or store-bought vegetables for convenience. Adjust cooking time as needed based on the type and size of your vegetables.
  4. For best flavor, freeze leftovers within 24 hours of adding the onion, to prevent the onion flavor from becoming overpowering.
  5. Alternatively, store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat as needed.
  6. For extra convenience, combine all ingredients in the crock-pot the night before, refrigerate, and cook the next day.
