This slow cooker beef kebab soup has all the flavor of beef kebabs but in soup form! You can also make this low-carb, paleo, whole30 beef soup in the Instant Pot.
Beef Kebab Flavors
There’s nothing I love more than a good beef kebab recipe. Kebabs are cuts of meat skewered with vegetables and cooked over a fire, usually a grill. I was craving beef kebabs but I also wanted soup so here we are with this beef kebab soup. This recipe is inspired by my Sheet Pan Deconstructed Beef Kebabs recipe. When I say ‘inspired by’ I mean I took the recipe, made a few minor tweaks & added broth to it.
What Kind Of Meat To Use
I usually use beef stew meat but of course that’s not the only option. If you’re not going to use beef stew meat, you can slice up another cut of beef. Suggestions include beef sirloin, beef roast (chuck, rump, round, etc.) or even brisket. The good thing about using the slow cooker or Instant Pot is that even a tough cut of meat like a brisket will be tender when it’s done cooking.
Adding In Other Veggies
What vegetables do you like to use when you make beef kebabs? What you see here is what I like to use: bell peppers, red onion, mushrooms, and zucchini. Feel free to add in or leave out your favorite vegetables. If you don’t like mushrooms, omit them! Definitely get creative with your veggies in this recipe.

This looks was so good! Coconut aminos is too expensive so I used soy sauce and something about adding mustard to a soup didn't seem right to me so I didn't use that but otherwise this was very good.
