- Stew Beef: The foundation of the soup, providing a rich, meaty flavor and tender texture after being slow-cooked to perfection.
- Baby Potatoes: These add heartiness to the soup, absorbing flavors from the broth and spices, and offering a satisfying bite.
- Beef Broth: Forms the flavorful base of the soup, enveloping the other ingredients in a savory and rich liquid that’s irresistible.

How To Make Steak and Potato Soup 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.
Storing and Reheating
- Storing: Cool the soup completely and store in airtight containers in the fridge. It keeps well for 3-4 days.
- Reheating: Warm the soup over medium heat on the stove, stirring occasionally until hot. If it’s too thick, add a bit of water or broth to reach your desired consistency.
