Pot Roast Soup–everything you love about classic pot roast but in cozy soup form. Tender bites of beef, potatoes, carrots, celery and mushrooms are simmered together and made in the slow cooker or Instant Pot.
Pot Roast Soup
Pot Roast Soup has all the familiar flavors of classic pot roast, but it cooks faster and goes further because it’s soup. You can toss it in the slow cooker on a crazy day or make it in the Instant Pot when you forgot to plan dinner. It’s perfect for cold nights! And it’s finally cold here now. Last week we were in the 60s on Christmas Eve and today when I went running my app told me it “feels like 11°” EEK! This tastes great as leftovers too. Enjoy!
