Step-by-Step Instructions
To get started with this delicious soup, the first thing I do is prep my ingredients. I chop up all my vegetables and dice the beef into bite-sized pieces. I really enjoy this part—there’s something satisfying about seeing those fresh ingredients lined up on my cutting board. Once everything is ready, I toss the beef stew meat directly into the Crock Pot first, followed by the veggies, tomatoes, and seasonings. Then, I pour in the beef broth and water until everything is beautifully submerged. It’s like creating a canvas for a masterpiece! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
