How to make Hobo Beef and Vegetable Soup

Step 1: Into a slow cooker, stir the beef broth, carrots, celery, parsley, celery seed, and bay leaves. Cove, set on high, and cook for about 2 hours until the veggies are tender.

Step 2: Into a skillet, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic for about 10 to 15 minutes until the onion is translucent and the beef is no longer pink, breaking the beef into small pieces as it cooks. Drain the fat off before stirring in the stewed tomatoes. Bring this to a boil over medium heat and continue to cook while frequently stirring until the tomatoes are broken into pieces.

Step 3: Into the soup, stir in the potatoes, corn, green beans, and peas. Add in the beef mixture and stir until everything is incorporated. Cover the slow cooker, set on high, and cook for 4 hours.

Note:

Add more broth (a little tomato juice or tomato-vegetable juice cocktail, if desired) in case the veggies and meat can’t be submerged in the broth.
