Slow Cooker Tomato, Beef, Orzo Soup is a quick and easy dinner recipe that the whole family will love!

Want to make it even easier? Remember our Slow Cooker French Dip Sandwiches from a couple days ago? It makes a lot of meat so if you have extras save them to use in this recipe and forget worrying about the first three ingredients YAY! That’s my kind of easy 🙂

Thanks for the recipe! I think I will make this and the french dip at the same time to have soup and sandwich.

I’m sorry but the soy sauce ruined this recipe. I threw the whole thing out. However, I made it again without the soy sauce and it was divine!

  Some people really don’t love soy sauce in recipes… I get it. I’m glad you had success on the next batch!! Love my slow cooker so much in winter 🙂 xoxo~ Ruthie
