Crock Pot Steak Soup - Recipes That Crock! (3)

Aunt Lou here.

I have been on a roll lately.

I rarely make a recipe that we don’t like…and you guys don’t ever hear about those rare occasions because I’m not about to share a recipe with you if we don’t like it!

However, here lately I have been hitting it out of the park with almost every recipe I make! It has started to become common place for Michael to tell me that I can make a recipe again anytime I want! This Crock Pot Steak Soup made that list as well. Yum!

Table of Contents

Now this is not a dump and go recipe. It isn’t hard, but it isn’t a 5 minute prep recipe. The little bit of effort you have to put into it is SO worth it though. After your first bite, you won’t think twice about spending 10-15 minutes putting it together (hmmm…am I spoiled if I think spending 10-15 minutes to make a recipe is a long time? 😉 ).

I have made this meal many times for my family and it’s my very picky, 11 year olds, favorite homemade meal! I love how easy and simple it is. I love all the extra veggies like carrots and mushrooms, but leave them out for the sake of my kids who love this soup as written. It’s always a miracle when I can find a recipe everyone likes lol, thank you!

How do you keep the noodles from soaking up all the broth (for the leftovers)??

  We didn’t have any problems with that. However, if you are concerned, you could always just cook the noodles separately and just add to each serving as you are eating it. Either way, I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

When I make a beef roast in the crock, I always have leftover beef. Can I use the beef and possibly the juice in this recipe and how long would I cook it at high or low?

  Hi Nancy!
  I haven’t tried it that way, but think it could work. Be sure and measure the amount of juice you use and subtract it from the amount on broth so that you have 6 cups total liquid. While the beef is already cooked, the other ingredients will still need time to cook together and flavor everything. I would think 2-4 hours on low would work and use the directions are written for the noodles. If you give it a try, let me know how it turns out!

  Hi Mike!
  Yes, you can use the ones that are cut up at the store. That will save you some time! My own preference for cooking beef is low. Cooking on high doesn’t make the meat as tender as cooking on low. Hope that helps.

Making this right now. I thought potatoes would be good in it especially since a few commented on the salty ness. My husband and son are out working hard plowing and shoveling so I figured this be perfect should they make it home for dinner.

This is perfect comfort food. My neighbor brought this in her crock-pot after we had a death in the family. It was such a lovely surprise. She included noodles in a bag with the instructions. This seemed to me more like a stew consistency than a soup. There were comments about adding vegetables to the recipe and she added carrots to ours and it was great. You could really add just about any vegetables to this but it would be nice as just beef and noodles. I just made some to take to a friend of mine who is going through a rough time and I added carrots and frozen green beans to it. My only negative for this recipe is that it was very salty. Even my husband, who is a confirmed salt-a-holic commented that it was too salty. There is a lot of sodium in the soup mix so I put only half of it in and omitted all of the added salt in the recipe. I would error on the side of caution when you make it. You can always add more salt as you eat it.

  You could probably add a whole plethora of veggies to this (the standard carrot, celery, and onion; or “mire pois”, sorry if I misspelled that), and then some to fit personal tastes (root veggies). May have to adjust amount of beef broth slightly.
