eh, i didn't think this was all that spectacular, kinda blah actually. Did NOT use 10 bouillion cubes, WOW, that would've been a salt lick. Used half that and lots of worcestershire to make it palatable, otherwise booooring.

The can of crushed tomatoes didn't work well for me - it ended up giving the soup a heavy tomato base, which I wasn't expecting and didn't care for. If I made this again, I would use a can of diced tomatoes instead of the crushed, which I think would be much better.

This recipe was very easy. Like others I did not use the salt, basil, or bouillon cubes but it still turned out good. I just got my slow cooker. I will come back for more recipes for my cooker. This site is very helpful. Thank you.

I made a few changes to this recipe. Used a can of beef broth instead of water and 2 beef bullion cubes instead of 10. Added some cabbage. I took this soup to a covered dish dinner and it got wiped out, destroying the idea there that married men can not cook.

Way way too salty...the 10 boullion cubes must be a typo. We dumped the whole thing out. Take the advice of others and reduce the cubes at least to half.

I certainly will NOT be making this recipe again. Maybe it is a matter of taste but this was wayyyy tosalty .I omitted the salt and cut down on the beef boullion but it was still too salty and inedible .yuck. My suggestion is to either cut the beef boullion cubes to maybe 4 or to used reduced sodium beef broth instead.

I upped this one to 16 servings and served it to 9 people for a dinner party. They LOVED it!! Almost all of them said it was the best beef "stew" they had ever had and I barely had enough because they wanted seconds and thirds. But it needed a few mods. I also used far less bouillion(only 10 cubes for 16 servings). I added some garlic powder for a little something extra(only 1tbs for 16 servings),used mostly fresh veggies, but the real kicker was about 1 1/2 cups of merlot which gave it a subtle rich flavor that compliments beef perfectly. Remember to use a merlot that you wouldn't mind drinking, not cheap cooking wine! I'll be using this recipe again, only for fewer guests so I can have more for myself!! I'll also add a bit more beef next time.

I took advice and didn't add any salt. I only used 8 bouillon cubes. The result was FANTASTIC! My kids ate the whole thing!

The recipe was way,way to salty. Since you add 10 bouillon you do not need to add the additional salt.

I followed the advice of others and omitted the salt, and only used 9 cubes. I made this with 8oz frozen peas, 8oz frozen corn, 3 fresh sliced carrots, and 2 sliced celery stalks. Also used Yukon Gold potatoes. This was very simple and perfect for a cold Chicago dinner with some warm bread. I would make this again, but again using the above modifications.

This is my favorite recipe on this site. Very easy, and positively delicious, especially served with a hearty bread for dipping. I like to use frozen "vegetables for stew," which makes the soup chunkier. Also, I use two packages of frozen vegetables, and don't put in the potatoes (there are potatoes in the frozen veggies). As a side note, make sure to cook this one for 8 hours on low, and don't try and do it for 4 hours on high -- the meat will turn out tough.

Yummy recipe! I just got a slow cooker. This is the first recipe I've used. I used a pound of stew meat, frozen pearl onions, and only a sprinkle of salt. Everything else was the same. Next time I would probably use a little less pepper and no extra salt. The bouillon cubes have plenty already. I let it cook for about ten hours while I was at work and it turned out great! The meat was so tender! I will make this again.

Maybe there is a typo in the ingredients list---1 tablespoon of salt is WAY too much, I won't make this recipe again, but if you're going to try it, I would recommend maybe 1 - 1/2 teaspoons instead.

Fantastic! Never thought to use a chuck roast for soup before, but the family LOVED it!! I didn't use frozen vegetables (had some time), but put some turnip in with the carrots and celery and onion. Easy and filling.
