5. Stir in Beef Broth: Add the beef broth and mix well.
6. Season Generously: Sprinkle in salt, pepper, oregano, and basil. Stir to distribute the flavors evenly.
7. Cook to Perfection: Cover the slow cooker and set it to low for 7-8 hours or high for 4 hours until the vegetables are tender.
8. Finish with Corn and Peas: Stir in the frozen corn and peas 30 minutes before the end of cooking to keep them perfectly tender.
