For an even richer flavor, sear the beef in a hot pan before adding it to the slow cooker. This will add depth and complexity to the soup. Feel free to adjust the vegetables to your liking. Add other vegetables, such as zucchini, spinach, or kale, during the last hour of cooking. Serve with a crusty bread and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
