My slow cooker has a permanent spot on my counter until spring and is alternating weekly with seasonal winter-ish soups and stews. Comforting and super-satisfying this soup only takes 10-15 minutes to prep.

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 large onion, chopped

1 tablespoon dried oregano

2 tablespoons garlic, minced

6 cups beef broth

1 cup carrots, peeled and chopped

1 cup celery, diced

2 cups turnips, washed and chopped

1 cup peas, fresh or frozen (no need to thaw)

1 can diced tomatoes

4 tablespoons tomato paste

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

salt and pepper

3. Add the beef and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

4. Once browned put everything into your slow cooker.
