Prime Rib Vegetable Soup
Highly versatile and super simple, this savory vegetable soup with prime rib is the perfect easy dinner for a cold winter night!
Ingredients
- Prime rib steak or stew meat cut into 1 inch cubes about 2-3 cups
- Beef broth about 6 cups
- Tomato Juice or V8 about 6 cups, we prefer spicy V8
- Mixed Vegetables such as corn peas, carrots, green beans, potatoes, okra, lima beans, tomatoes, etc. (about 4-5 cups)
- 3 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Instant Pot Instructions:
- In an Instant Pot combine beef broth, tomato juice, vegetables and seasonings. Select soup mode and turn the steam valve to the sealing position. Let the soup cook on soup mode for the pre-programmed time. When the Instant Pot soup mode is complete, vent the steam valve and remove the lid. Serve soup with crackers, crusty bread or a grilled cheese sandwich.
Slow Cooker Instructions:
- In a slow cooker, combine beef broth, tomato juice, vegetables and seasonings. Cook on low for 8 hours or until beef is cooked through and vegetables are fork tender. Serve soup with crackers, crusty bread or a grilled cheese sandwich.
- Store leftover soup in an air tight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
- My favorite way to serve this soup is with a sourdough grilled cheese sandwich or a slice of crusty sourdough bread.

Notes
Substitutions and Variations:
Water can be substituted for beef broth, but broth will add lots more flavor. Try Bloody Mary mix instead of tomato juice for a richer spice flavor. Add in barley to make beef barley soup or egg noodles to add more heartiness to the soup. For a richer flavor, sear meat in olive oil on all sides before adding the rest of the ingredients. The fond or brown bits on the bottom of the pot will be deglazed by the broth and add lots of flavor to the soup. Add in fresh herbs like rosemary or fresh thyme for more pungent flavor.
