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.  ๐Ÿ™‚

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.

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.

    This was a wonderful hearty soup. I live alone and I ate every last spoonful! It was great. I used fresh green beans, celery, and frozen corn in place of mixed vegetables. I will make this again!

    1. Patti says:

      This was very good. I used ground chicken as that was what I had on hand. Omitted the tomatoes because my husband does not like tomatoes and didn’t have the chilies to add. Used Ragu sauce. It was very tasty and filling! Thank you for the recipe.

  2. Cassaundra says:

    I made this today. It turned out amazing! My wife really loved it. I used stew meat instead of ground beef though. Thanks for sharing this!

    P.S. I wish there was a way I could include a pic on here.

  3. JoAnn says:

    This soup is amazing! I followed the recipe exactly, but added some cabbage. So freaking good and easy.

  4. QC Rose says:

    BEST. SOUP. EVER!!!!! Have now made it 5 times since November and have shared it every time with great responses. I made a few adjustments such as adding stew beef, a beef bouillon cube and a little more Worcestershire sauce. I love the richness of the beef flavor.

  5. Chrissy says:

    Making this now although I’m using fresh veggies and will be adding okra the last 40mins..Looks and smells fantastic..Really looking forward to this

  6. Willa Stalnaker says:

    Made this twice since corona has been around and it is better than chili

  8. Marjie says:

    was looking for a different soup to make with my hamburger I’m gonna try this today but I think I’m gonna put chopped jalapenos in it also can’t wait to try it ๐Ÿ˜

  9. Glenn says:

    Sometimes girlfriend & I take care of my cousins’ kids for a weekend. They love this soup. One time didn’t have potatoes so I substituted egg noodles. About 2 hrs before soup was done I boiled 8 ounces of egg noodles 5 minutes less than time called for on directions & added to slow cooker. Turned out great.
