Slow Cooker Vegetable Soup
Whenever it is time to use up my fresh vegetables so I can buy new ones, I make soup! It is not entirely made with vegetables because whenever I make vegetable soup I always add barley, however, you can leave it out if you want to. This is so simple to put together, throw it into the slow cooker and you are done!
Ingredients
Place the cut up carrots, onion, celery
and cabbage into a large slow cooker.
Add the seasonings and the barley.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes.
Pour in the beef broth and stir well.
Cover and cook on low for at least 7 hours.
Add the frozen mixed vegetables.
Stir, making sure the frozen
vegetables are under the liquid.
If there is not enough broth for
your liking, add more beef broth.
Cook another 1-3 hours on low or
until all of the vegetables are tender.
Place in serving size bowls and enjoy.

This sounds great, especially since I’m in the middle of Snowmageddon over here.
Oh no! We are only getting a little bit here…thank God!
I think we’re past the worst of it. Roads are getting cleared and while they’re predicting more snow today, it won’t be nearly as heavy as it was last night. Luckily I was able to leave work early and get home before it started.
That’s good! That feeling of being home safe is so nice! Stay warm.
I wonder if that could be made in an Instant Pot.
I have my new, unopened Instant Pot sitting right next to my chair. So for now, I can’t answer that. I am hoping to check it out this weekend. I am sure I will be posting recipes as I figure this thing out…lol
I love my Instant Pot but have not mastered recipes except for one soup my Jewish friend taught me.
Well I will see if I can change that! We can learn together!
Warms the heart on a cold day!
It sure does and many days after…lol
I LOVE soup!!! This is a great Friday “Refrigerator Soup” using everything that has been neglected during the week!
And a good reason to eat healthy which I don’t do often enough! Lol Thank you Dorothy!
I could eat soup twice a day, every day, during the colder months – – adding this one to my list.
I agree! Thanks Anneberly!
Yeah, I need this because it looks tasty.
Thanks Dan!
Healthy and delicious. I bet the house smells wonderful around dinner time 🙂
Oh don’t you know it! It actually smelled great for most of the day because it was in the slow cooker. Thanks Jacquie!
Looks like a great soup on a cold winter day! And packed with nutrients! Even better.
Thank you so much Bernice!!!
Looks and sounds delicious. Thanks for the follow. Hope you are having a great weekend.
You’re welcome! You have a great weekend as well!
Great recipe for the cold winter ahead! Looks like an inviting meal!
And plenty of it! Thank you and have a great day!
I often forget to do this. I forget that I don’t have to rush to use my fresh veggies and I don’t have to have to have them twice in a week. I could just make a soup! I am going to make this soup this week. In fact, this one.
Enjoy it is one of my favorites!
I am going to share this recipe with my husband, he loves his slow cooker. I am pretty sure we have all these ingredients in my house right now. Thanks for the healthy recipe, perfect for keeping the cold and flu away.
It is definitely a healthy soup. When I need to take off a few pounds I make this and eat a huge bowl to replace at least one meal a day. I call it my diet soup…lol
Oh that’s a great idea!!! I was just looking at all my vegetables wondering if they’re going bad and then came across this!!!
Perfect! It makes the best soup!
You’ve inspired me! My Boys and I are making some creamy vegetable soup right now!
Awesome! You made my day and creamy soup is so good! Thank you!
Thank you!
Looks like such a good soup!
Nice and healthy too….Thanks Nancy!
Now that Winter may finally have arrived … soup is just perfect. Hope you didn’t get slammed with snow Diane.
We miss almost all of it….thank God. Maybe an inch or two at most. My husband had to use the shovel because there wasn’t enough to use the snow blower. Did you get any? I thought it was just south of us???
South of me did in Monroe, close to the state line, but not a flake for us – I was ecstatic! They are talking now about next Saturdy with potential now. Fingers crossed it doesn’t happen!
Me too!
Delicious!
Thanks Rachael!
Thank you so much! I love this 🙂
You’re welcome!
sounds like interesting. I just come to my place after spending so much days in hospital. Previously I was admitted to hospital due my Urine Puscell & Blood TLC / DLC which cause fever. I am good now but completely recover in more 10-15 days more. I hope you will like my post about Sugar Free Phirni. https://amazingshining.com/sugar-free-indian-dessert-phirni-recipe/ Phirni is a type of Indian Pudding. Mostly served as a welcome dessert in North of India. Thanks.
Love pudding! I will check it out!
Thanks.
Barley in soup is a great idea! If I didnt need to eat gluten free, I’d eat cooked with my rice.
I have never cooked rice in a slow cooker. I am afraid it would get too mushy. Have you?
I shoulda mentioned in a regular rice cooker, slow cooker. But Asians actually like their rice a bit stickier texture, that we often add glutinous sweet rice with the regular white rice. 🌾
Oh my kind of rice! I could never figure out why anyone likes rice that is crunchy too. I love it cooked completely through and sticky!
That’s a delicious bowl of soup.slurp!
LOL Thanks! See I do post a few healthy recipes. 😂🤣
Good. Here, we’d use low sodium vegetable broth to match the no-meat diet, but that’s an easy switch. Thanks for your visit to Under Western Skies.
Thank you!
