Beef and Vegetable soup

                                                 Beef and Vegetable Soup

Beef and vegetable slow cooked soup

I have decided it is October so it must definitely soup time.
The heating has kicked in.
So soup needs to be cooking.

This is so easy and you can just use what vegetables you have in the fridge

I use a cup of each of the vegetables.
Its actually very therapeutic all that peeling and chopping.
Use whatever you have in the fridge to use up! 

The beef was already cubed but I cut it up some more. 

What you'll need

All vegetables and meat peeled, chopped, diced or cubed 

sweet potato ~ 1 cup
onions ~ 1 cup
green beans ~ 1 cup
carrots ~ 1 cup
butternut squash ~ 1cup
swede/rutabaga ~ 1 cup
frozen peas ~ 1 cup
parsnips ~ 1 cup

beef ~ 2 cups

beef stock stock ~ 2 cups

1 can/400g diced tomatoes

onion powder ~ 1 tablespoon
Thyme ~ 1 tablespoon
oregano ~ 1 tablespoon
smoked paprika ~ 1/2 tablespoon
chili powder ~ 1 teaspoon
rosemary ~ 1 teaspoon
rubbed sage ~ 1 teaspoon
white ground pepper ~ 1/2 teaspoon
sea salt ~ 1/2 teaspoon

corn starch
water These are if needed
I find I don't always need them

If you do about 40 minutes before the end of cooking mix 1 tablespoon with some water and mix well until no lumps and then stir in to the soup and soup will thicken

after peeling chopping and dicing all vegetables
place in the slow cooker Except the peas
add the tomatoes and mix well
add the beef and again mix well
add the herbs and spices to the beef stock and stir
add the beef stock with the herbs and spices to the crockpot/slow cooker and mix well
