Slow Cooker Beef and Vegetable Soup

This is another one I threw together in the slow cooker.  The amounts are approximate, and can be modified for preference.  Unfortunately the only picture of it I have at the moment is pre-cooked, but it still looks pretty tasty and colorful!



Ingredients:
8 cups beef stock or broth
2 lbs stewing beef, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cups potatoes, diced
2 cups cut up carrots or baby carrots
2 cupsFrozen cut green beans
2 cups Frozen peas
Montreal Steak Seasoning (optional)

Preparation and Cooking:
Put all ingredients in the slow cooker, mix, and top with a few shakes of Montreal Steak seasoning for a little kick and flavor.  You can also get it in a spicy variety.  Set on low for 8 hours or high for 4.  This could also be cooked on the stove in a stock pot, simmering on medium until the meat is cooked through.


The Verdict:
This was a great soup.  It is fairly easy to make.  This recipe made a lot so it can be cut back if you need less.  It was very tasty and is pretty healthy and light with all the veggies.
