Ingredients
  

For the Soup Base
  • 2 pounds Pot Roast A rich protein option that adds depth to the flavor; leftover beef works wonderfully too!
  • 4 cups Beef Broth Serves as the flavorful foundation; substitute with vegetable broth for a lighter version.
  • 1 can Tomato Soup Adds thickness and zest; consider using thick tomato sauce for a richer taste.
  • 2 cups Water Adjusts the soup’s consistency; modify based on your preferred thickness.
For the Vegetables
  • 3 medium Russet Potatoes Adds heartiness to the soup; feel free to substitute with Yukon Gold for extra creaminess.
  • 2 medium Carrots Bring sweet flavor and nutrition; fresh or frozen both work well here.
  • 1 pkg Frozen Seasoning Blend A convenient mix for a flavor-packed base; fresh chopped onions can be used instead.
  • 1 cup Frozen Green Beans Contribute pleasant texture; can be swapped for fresh or omitted if desired.
  • 1 cup Frozen Corn Adds sweetness and crunch; fresh corn can also be used when in season.
  • 1 cup Frozen Peas Provide a touch of sweetness and pop of color; fresh peas work beautifully, too!
Seasonings
  • 1 tsp Salt Essential for enhancing flavors; adjust to suit your family's taste.
  • 1 tsp Pepper Essential for enhancing flavors; adjust to suit your family's taste.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Roast: Start by seasoning your pot roast generously with salt and pepper. Place it in a slow cooker and pour in half a can of beef broth. Set on LOW for about 10 hours, until meat is tender and shreds easily.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add chopped carrots and frozen seasoning mix, sauté for about 5–7 minutes until tender.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Once vegetables are sautéed, mix in shredded beef, chopped potatoes, remaining frozen veggies, remaining broth, and tomato soup. Add enough water to achieve desired consistency.
  4. Cook the Soup: Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for about an hour, stirring occasionally.
  5. Adjust Seasoning: After an hour, taste and adjust seasonings with more salt and pepper as needed. Optionally, add bay leaves or Italian seasoning.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Ladle into bowls and serve hot, pairing with crusty bread or a fresh side salad.
