Crock Pot Vegetable Beef Soup
This is one of those easy dinners that’s made with really basic ingredients, but it just hits the spot. It’s warm, nourishing and the kind of meal that just makes you feel good, plus the leftovers make a great lunch the next day. I love that the only real prep is dicing an onion and cubing up some potatoes. I didn’t even peel mine since I used red potatoes. The rest of the veggies come straight from the freezer aisle, so this is just a solid, simple recipe that I think you’re really going to enjoy!
