Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds beef stew meat (bite-sized pieces)
• 4 large Russet potatoes (peeled and diced)
• 3 medium carrots (peeled and sliced)
• 3 celery stalks (chopped)
• 1 medium yellow onion (chopped)
• 4 garlic cloves (minced)
• 4 cups beef stock
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the beef stew meat with half the salt and pepper.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear the beef pieces for 1-2 minutes on each side until browned. Transfer the meat to the slow cooker.

Step 3

Add the diced potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, and garlic to the slow cooker over the beef.

Step 4

Pour in the beef stock, then add Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and the remaining salt and pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Cover the slow cooker with a lid and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours, or until the beef and vegetables are tender.

Step 6

About 30 minutes before the soup is done cooking, prepare the roux. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden and bubbly.

Step 7

Slowly whisk the heavy cream into the roux until smooth and thickened. Then, gradually add 1 cup of the hot soup broth from the slow cooker to the cream mixture while whisking constantly to temper the roux.

Step 8

Pour the roux mixture back into the slow cooker, stirring well to incorporate and thicken the soup.

Step 9

Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley, and enjoy your hearty steak tater soup!
