Slow Cooker Hearty Italian Beef Soup has tender beef, white beans, and vegetable in a tomato-based soup.

This is one of my favorite soups for when I need to make a meal for a family. This soup is different than most soups but still has flavors everyone loves.

A co-worker from the post office gave me this recipe. The broth in this soup is to die for! It’s the most comforting soup you will ever try and healthy too. We love this soup with Parmesan cheese and french bread.

      Can you add noodles or pasta toward the end?

        Yes! Though I never recommend adding dried noodles to the slow cooker. They seem to get chalky. You can boil 1 cup of pasta, drain it, then add it to the soup when it’s done.

        There is a metric conversion button on the recipe card, do those amounts work for you?

      At the top it says 8 hours on low but in the instructions it says 9 hours. Probably doesn’t matter, but should be consistent.

        Yes! I think a little would be great, about a half cup to a cup. I love red wine with beef.

      I just read Alicia’s question about not browning the meat (a question I was going to ask). In your reply, you mention splitting it into 2 freezer bags. I like that idea since it is just my husband and I. My question is “do I split the soup BEFORE or AFTER I cook it???? If I understand your comment above, I assume I would COOK the soup in 2 different batches??

        Before cooking. Then you’ll have 2 meals to cook.

      I would love to make this during the week so dinner is ready when we get home. Since prepping meat in the morning is something I definitely don’t have time for, do you think I could skip browning it? I know I might lose some of the flavor, but do you think it would be just as good? It looks delicious!

        Yes Alicia, I actually have made this for a freezer meal, skipped browning. And this recipe can be split into 2 freezer bags for 2 different meals, thaw completely before putting into the slow cooker. Still tastes great!

        When you have time prepare several portions of the meat and freeze in separate bags. When needed, thaw a bag in the fridge one or two days ahead. In the morning proceed as you would.

      Definitely going to try this one! For some reason, my family thinks soup needs meat all the time so this will be one for all of us…meat and veggies. This just might be on the menu this weekend! Thanks Sarah!
