Once roasted I put it all in the slowcooker with some celery stalks, celery leaves and also the celery bulb, which has the most flavour and most people throw away
Place beef in slowcooker. Bolar or Topside Beef. Pour over beef & slow cook on low for 6-8 hours. Mix Concentrated Mushroom Soup & Maggi French Onion Soup together (no water)
Served with roasted potatoes or over pasta with carrot rings and your choice of steamed greens should get you rave reviews and a round of cleaned plates at the end of the meal
In a slowcooker, put all of the ingredients excluding the mashed potatoes. Beef chuck roast. This is a dump in a big pot and walk away type recipe and trust me for a full time mum, this is the perfect recipe especially since Miss D loves her mash and beef
See tips for the slowcooker option. It’s one of the less tender cuts of beef, being a working muscle, but is full of flavour and cooked slowly (like in this recipe) it is absolutely divine
Included are golden oldies like Grandma’s farmhouse soup which used to simmer away on the back of a wood burning stove (but is easier and just as tasty made in a slowcooker today) as well as new ones which show the influence of Asian cuisine on our soup kitchen
