Crock Pot “Parmed” Vegetable Soup is my husband’s favorite version of Vegetable Beef Soup!
One thing I love about crocking this soup is it freezes so well. Once we’ve eaten vegetable soup for a few days, I freeze in individual containers and reheat as needed. This makes for a great lunch solution for the office too!
- Place beef in the crock pot
- Add bay leaves, chopped celery, onions, potatoes & carrots. Season with garlic powder & Salt & Pepper.
- Pour diced tomatoes, beef broth & water on top.
- Cover & Crock on HIGH for 5-6 hours
- Add 1 cup of frozen corn and 1 & 1/2 cup frozen green beans.
- Crock on HIGH for 1 hour more or until vegetables are softened.
- To serve, pour soup into bowls and top with oyster crackers. Sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarelle cheese on top and melt in the microwave for 45-60 seconds.
Happy Crocking!
Love,
Crock Pot Girl
