Vegetable beef soup has always been one of my favorite soup recipes to order at a restaurant. This hearty vegetable beef soup will soon be a staple in your home!
Optional - brown beef in a skillet with a small amount of cooking oil.
Add everything to the slow cooker (I used my 7 quart cooker) and cook high 6 hours or low 10 hours.
Enjoy!
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTANT POT
Optional: Turn instant pot to saute feature. Brown the beef in a small amount of cooking oil for 3 -5 minutes.
Add remaining ingredients to the instant pot, and set to manual for 45 minutes.
When cook cycle is finished, hit cancel and allow natural pressure release for 10 - 15 minutes.
Enjoy!
INSTRUCTIONS FOR OVEN
Optional: Brown beef on the stovetop in a small amount of cooking oil.
Add everything to a large pot with oven safe lid. We like to use our 6.5 quart enameled cast iron. Cook covered on center oven rack at 350 degrees for 2 - 3 hours, until beef is tender.
Enjoy!

Notes
Browning the beef is an optional step, but it will help add more flavor as well as help the meat tenderize faster.
