This hearty slow cooker soup builds deep flavor the easy way ā beef chuck seared until richly browned, then simmered low and slow with onion, garlic, carrots, celery, and Yukon Gold potatoes until everything turns fork-tender. Diced tomatoes and tomato paste thicken the broth into something rich and savory, while thyme, oregano, and bay leaves keep it warm and herby all afternoon. Stirring in frozen green beans and corn near the end keeps their color and bite intact, so every spoonful has a mix of textures. It's the kind of set-it-and-forget-it dinner that rewards you with a full pot of tender beef and vegetables in a deeply savory broth. This one's a great pick for a gluten free kitchen, no special equipment or fuss required beyond your slow cooker. Top bowls with fresh parsley for a little brightness against all that slow-cooked richness.

Pat the beef cubes dry with paper towels and season all over with 1 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the beef in a single layer ā work in two batches if needed to avoid crowding ā and sear undisturbed for 3ā4 minutes per side until deeply browned on at least two sides. Transfer the seared beef to the slow cooker insert.
