What is Hearty Crockpot Cowboy Soup?
Hearty Crockpot Cowboy Soup is a hearty soup that will warm you up from the inside out. It contains delicious ingredients like ground beef, potatoes, carrots, and onion soup mix.
Ingredients 1 pound ground beef (or turkey or chicken)
- One can (14.5 oz each) of diced tomatoes with green chiles (or regular tomato sauce)
- 1 cup of uncooked instant rice
- Two medium-sized potatoes, peeled and diced into small cubes
- One small bag (about five oz. each) of frozen chopped onion soup mix (or 2 tsp dried onion soup mix, plus 1 tsp ground onion)
- 1 1/4 cups of beef broth
- One lb. can of carrots, drained and rinsed under running water
- 1/2 cup green onions (green parts only) – roughly chopped
What to do:
- Pour the ground beef into a large dutch oven. Add the diced tomatoes with green chiles and the rice. Stir everything together and let simmer on low for about 30 minutes or until cooked through.
- Add the bag of soup mix, broth, potatoes, carrots, and onions. Mix everything using your spoon or spatula. Turn the crockpot on high and let it cook for about 2 hours or less. Serve warm with a slice of bread for dipping if desired.
How was it?:
We enjoyed this crockpot soup! It was so flavorful, and the flavors blended perfectly together. We even had some leftovers and ate them cold the next day. I love how versatile this recipe is, too. It’s a great meal when you’re in a hurry or want something that can be served with bread for dipping.
Variations on the recipe:
- If you want a bit of a kick, add 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes. If it’s too spicy for your taste, leave it out.
- If you’d like to use ground turkey instead of ground beef, increase the amount by 1 pound.
- If you want to make this a vegetarian soup, feel free to substitute the beef with ground turkey or chicken. Also, if you’re going to add some protein, feel free to add diced cooked chicken breast.
- If you’d like your soup a bit thicker, feel free to use less beef broth and more instant rice (about 3 cups of instant rice and 2 cups of beef broth instead of 1 cup each).
