How to Make Lipton Soup Pot Roast Recipe
Start by selecting a boneless beef chuck roast. This cut is the top choice for pot roast because it has great marbling.
Season it with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper on all sides.
In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, brown the roast on all sides with some olive oil. This searing seals in flavor and moisture for a more flavorful and tender pot roast.
Combine a packet of Lipton Onion Soup Mix with beef broth and a cup of water, creating a savory broth that infuses your roast with flavor.
Place the seared roast in the Dutch oven, or transfer it to a slow cooker, and surround it with your root vegetables: red potatoes and baby carrots, celery, and garlic for a complete meal in one pot.
If you're opting for slow cooking, let the magic happen over 8-10 hours, or 4 hours in a dutch oven. These cooking methods make incredibly tender pot roast infused with the flavors of the onion soup mix.
(You could also add a can of cream of mushroom soup to the mix, for a creamy gravy option;)
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container for a next-day, or use them as the base for beef stew!
Whether you choose the Dutch oven, or the slow cooker, this makes a tender, flavorful pot roast... The ultimate comfort food!

Pot Roast Recipe with Onion Soup Mix
Every succulent bite of this savory and simple Onion Soup Pot Roast recipe promises the perfect pot roast experience, making Sunday dinner the highlight of your week!
Ingredients
- 3 to 4 pounds chuck roast
- 1 packet (about 1 ounce) Lipton Onion Soup Mix
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup water
- 1 onion, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
- 4 potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper.
- In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chuck roast on all sides until browned. This helps to lock in the flavor.
- Remove the roast from the pot and set it aside.
- In the same pot, add the sliced onions and minced garlic. Cook until the onions are translucent.
- Add the Lipton Onion Soup Mix to the pot and stir well.
- Pour in the beef broth and water, stirring to combine and dissolve the soup mix.
- Place the seared chuck roast back into the pot, making sure it's surrounded by the liquid.
- Arrange the carrots and potatoes around the roast.
- Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.
- Roast for about 3-4 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
- Check the roast periodically, and if the liquid is reducing too much, you can add more beef broth or water as needed.
- Once done, remove the pot from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing the roast.
- Serve the pot roast slices with the vegetables and the flavorful broth. Better yet, use the leftover broth to make gravy from scratch!
Notes
- Experiment with different potato varieties for varying textures—russet potatoes for a fluffy texture, or red potatoes for a creamier result.
- If you prefer a thicker broth, you can mix 1-2 tablespoons of flour with a little water and stir it into the pot during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
- Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preferences. Mushrooms, celery, and parsnips are great additions.
- Ensure the roast is well-seasoned before searing for richer flavor.
- This recipe is also suitable for a slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the roast is tender.
- Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for a burst of freshness.
Tips
- Allow the roast to come to room temperature before cooking for more even cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the roast.
- Save any leftover broth... it makes a fantastic base for soups or gravy from scratch.
- Consider marinating the roast with the Lipton Onion Soup Mix for a few hours or overnight for enhanced flavor.
