Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Season the pot roast generously with salt and pepper. Place it in the slow cooker and add half a can of beef broth. Cook on LOW for about 10 hours.
  2. In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add in the carrots along with the frozen seasoning blend, sautéing for 5-7 minutes.
  3. Remove the cooked pot roast from the slow cooker and shred it into bite-sized pieces. In the large pot, add the shredded beef, diced potatoes, peas, green beans, and corn. Pour in the remaining beef broth, tomato soup, and one cup of water.
  4. Bring the soup mixture to a vigorous boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 1 hour.
  5. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper. Ladle the warm soup into bowls, and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
