🔪 How to Make This Pot Roast Vegetable Soup
Making this pot roast vegetable soup is so easy! Follow the step-by-step instructions here or in the recipe card at the bottom of this post and you will have a classic comfort food meal that your entire family will love in no time at all.
Step 1: Sear and cook the roast
Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil in a heavy stock pot. Rub one teaspoon of salt around the chuck roast and sear the roast on all sides in the oil. Add 6 cups of beef broth to the stock pot (enough to cover the roast), then add black pepper and bay leaves. Simmer on low for three hour
Step 2: Saute the vegetables
In a separate Dutch oven or stock pot heat one tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and carrots and cook until tender – about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add the seasonings (garlic, parsley, oregano, marjoram, thyme, and basil). Stirring consistently cook for one more minute to meld spices.
Step 3: Add the broth and vegetables
Add 4 cups beef broth, diced tomatoes, cut green beans, diced potatoes, and Worcestershire sauce into the sautéed vegetable stockpot. Also ladle in 1 1/2 cups of the Chuck roast beef broth (careful not to get the bay leaves). Simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
Step 4: Add the roast to the soup
Remove Chuck roast from the pot and shred it into smaller pieces, discarding any inedible parts. Add the shredded beef to the pot and salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot and enjoy this healthy and hearty soup!

💭 Tips
Here are a few additional tips to ensure your Pot Roast Vegetable Soup turns out perfectly every time:
- Ensure you sear the chuck roast thoroughly on all sides before simmering. This process adds depth to the broth and enriches the overall taste of the soup.
- Don’t rush the simmering; allowing the beef to cook slowly will tenderize the meat and add a deep flavor to the broth.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning as you go, especially after adding the beef back into the pot.
