This recipe makes a big batch and it reheats and freezes well. Pair it with a green salad with Creamy Italian Dressing and some fresh, crunchy bread and you have yourself a full meal that the whole family will enjoy.

How To Make Crock Pot Spicy Vegetable Beef Soup

First you’ll brown some ground beef with some diced onion. To save time, go ahead and add the other ingredients to the crock pot while the beef cooks. Then it hardly takes any extra time to brown the beef.  🙂

Once everything is in the crock pot, give it a good stir. Place the lid on and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours or on HIGH for 5 to 6 hours.

Tips For Making

  • The spice comes from crushed red pepper flakes and Rotel tomatoes. Use “hot” Rotel tomatoes if you want more heat. Use mild if you want to keep the spice down.
  • I use ground chuck, but you could use lean ground beef. You can skip the browning step if you wish and put the raw ground beef in the crock pot. You’ll want to cook it towards the longer end of the cooking time, maybe even slightly longer. I don’t recommend doing this with ground chuck. Your soup will be too greasy.

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teapsoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Cook the beef and onion in a large nonstick skllet, crumbling the beef as it cooks. When beef is no longer pink, drain off the grease and transfer the beef/onion mixture to a 6-quart crock pot.
  • Add remaining ingredients and stir together.

Notes

Note: To save time, add the other ingredients to the crock pot while the beef browns.
You can skip the browning the beef step and add the raw ground beef to the crock pot. I recommend using lean ground beef if you do this and cook for the maximum cook time.
I recommend a 12 to 14 ounce bag of frozen vegetables.

  1. I am looking forward to making this soup. I have quick question. The recipe calls for a can of beef broth. What size can is needed to make the soup? Thanks

  2. Make this often. One of the family’s favorites. I used Arrabiata which is spicier than regular sauce.

    1. The soup is delicious. I add frozen Okra, also.

      I do not add the browned meat until 30 mins. before serving. This cuts down on the amount of grease.

      Serve with cornbread muffins! Yum!

  3. Used spicy marinara…really good recipe! (a double recipe will not fit in your crockpot) 🙂

  4. Willa Stalnaker

    Have made this some 3 times and every time plan on freezing some but have it ate up before can freeze it , it is absolutely delicious

    I used to make a variation of this recipe when I was younger. I had forgotten about it. Made this version and loved it. My version had cabbage in it.

  6. Absolutely delicious!!!!! I used a pound of mild Italian sausage and 1 large can of Rotel for more flavor….also added carrots along with the potatoes….the addition of pasta sauce and Italian seasoning took this over the top….thank you for sharing.

  7. I’ve made this soup several times. Changed it up a bit and added small pasta the last20 min.

  8. Real crowd pleaser. I made this soup for a large work event. Everyone loved the soup and asked for the recipe. I was happy to share. I give it 5 Stars ++.
