This version of Vegetable Beef Soup is made in a slow cooker, but you could easily convert it to a stove top recipe. This is a cozy, healthy ,and yummy soup that only takes minutes to prepare.
This soup is hardy and filling and perfect for a cold winter night. Try it with some garlic bread on the side, or a grilled cheese sandwich.
HELPFUL HINTS FOR VEGETABLE BEEF SOUP
I like very small pieces of celery, so to achieve that, I slice the celery in half, lengthwise, and then each half in half again, so that I end up with 4 pieces, then I dice into small chunks.
This soup could easily be ready in as little as 2 hours, but I believe cooking it longer makes it taste better.

Instructions
- Gather all ingredients.
- Trim any fat from the beef. Cut the beef into bite sized pieces. Sprinkle cornstarch over pieces of beef. Toss to coat the beef. Every piece won't get covered and that's okay. Set aside.

- In a large skillet, heat to medium-high and add EVOO. Place the beef in the heated skillet and cook until browned, about 4 minutes.
- To the browned beef, add the celery, carrots and onion. Cook until the veggies are tender-crisp, about 4 minutes
- Transfer to slow cooker at this point.
- Add all seasonings. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add broth and water.
- Add corn, peas and pasta.
- Cook on low for 2 to 6 hours, or until meat is tender.
- Adjust liquids and salt, as needed.
