Paleo Beef and Veggie Soup with Sweet Potato

If you’ve ever wondered what to do with leftover roast beef, you will love this Paleo Beef and Veggie Soup.  In fact, you may even decide to make a slow cooker pot roast just so you can make this soup with the leftovers.  It’s that good.

The flavor is perfect, thanks to several key ingredients:

• sweet potato
• apple
• red wine
• plenty of herbs

Regular potatoes are high in starch, high on the glycemic index, and pretty much devoid of significant nutrition.  For this reason, they’re generally not included in a Paleo diet.  This stew really called for something potato-ish, so I used a sweet potato.  Perfect!

And the apple?  I learned that trick from Michelle Tam over at Nom Nom Paleo.  Her Curried Cream of Broccoli Soup is fantastic, although, sadly, my kids are not fans.

Seriously.  Make a slow cooker roast and enjoy the meat with a bunch of simply prepared veggies.  The next day, make this soup with the leftover roast beef.

3. My original recipe called for 1 teaspoon salt, but now that seems like too much! I’ve adjusted the recipe to begin at 3/4 teaspoon salt. Feel free to adjust according to your family’s preference. Be sure to use unrefined sea salt, which is very nourishing to the body. Regular table salt is completely different; it actually strips the body of important nutrients. Unrefined sea salt for the win!
