This slow cooker beef vegetable soup with pasta is easy-to-make and tastes delicious! My entire family gobbles this down when I make it. To save time I will brown up my ground beef the day before and refrigerate it overnight. The next day I place everything in my slow cooker and go about my day. It’s always nice to come home and have dinner waiting to be served.

One of the nice things about this recipe is that it freezes well. Let it completely cool before putting it in freezer containers. It should keep for 4-6 months. Thaw in your refrigerator overnight and enjoy it the next day.

1 to 1 1/2 lbs. lean ground beef, cooked and drained

1 tbsp. oregano
1 1/2 tbsp. basil
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
1/2 to 1 tsp. salt

It looks great! I love comfort food.
I always appreciate recipes that are good for the freezer since it is so convenient to be able to pull out a healthy and good tasting dinner after a busy day.
Yesterday it was cold and rainy. I like that this can be frozen. Easy to make.
This sounds simple and easy to make. And glad to know that it freezes well. I don’t make a large quantity unless I can freeze most of it. When I make a big serving I will only eat it once or twice, and just freeze the balance. Nothing like taking a bag of soup out of the freezer and in no time you are eating
This sounds so good. That will be good even if it is not cold outside. I would like to make some soon. Thank you for the recipe.
