Ingredients

    1.5 lbs stew beef
    4 beets, chopped
    2 carrots, chopped
    2 celery stalks chopped
    1 parsnip, chopped
    2 red onions, chopped
    1 cup cabbage, chopped
    14 oz diced tomatoes
    6 cups beef broth
    salt
    pepper
    2 bay leaves
    2 cloves garlic

Tips

Original recipe calls for red cabbage but I use whatever I happen to have on hand and it always turns out great. If you only have 28 oz cans of tomatoes add the whole thing. I do at times and it is still good!

The original recipe also does not call for this to be blended but I ALWAYS blend mine. My kids gobble it up without realizing how much veggies are in it!

    Very Good
    Yummy beefy flavor and lots of fiber. I ran it through the blender. This recipe should probably be halved for a 3-quart slow cooker; I couldn't get all the broth in. - 1/24/16
