How To Make Steak and Potato Soup in a Slow Cooker

Steak, potatoes and butter in a slow cooker

Prepare the Slow Cooker: Add the stew beef, halved baby potatoes, chopped onion, beef broth, paprika, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and butter into your slow cooker.
Set and Forget: Cover with the lid and set to cook. Choose low heat for a slower cook or high if you’re short on time. The meat and potatoes should be tender when it’s done.

Creamy Finish: Before serving, stir in the heavy cream to give your soup a wonderfully smooth texture.
Top It Off: Serve the soup in bowls and garnish with chopped scallions, crispy bacon, and shredded cheese for an extra flavor kick.

Recipe Success Tips

Cut Uniformly: Ensure the potatoes are roughly the same size as the beef chunks for even cooking.
Low and Slow: Opt for the longer, low-temperature cooking option if time allows. It makes the beef incredibly tender.
Add Cream Last: Stir in the cream just before serving to prevent curdling and maintain a creamy consistency.
Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to add your favorite toppings like sour cream, chives, or a sprinkle of paprika for added color and flavor.
