Soups On

So I know I have made several posts the past few days. . . It seems I am catching up. Although I do not feel well, I am making a recovery. I have bursts of energy and find myself not wanting to sit still. Lately, I have become a fan of making two-three meals over the weekend in order to help out my busy week. Soup seems to be one of my favorite meals for several reasons: Number one is it easy, Number Two it tends to be cheaper, Number Three I like it!

Last week I made Chicken Corn Chowder. This week I made Crock Pot Vegetable Beef Soup. I can't take credit for this idea, as a friend initially shared it with me. I have added a few of my own ideas, but it is relatively easy and can be modified based on what's in your cabinet.

So, here goes the general idea. . .
Crock Pot Soup:
1 pound hamburger (I have used other beef items with great results), Cooked and drained.
2 tablespoons Pampered Chef Italian Seasoning Mix
5-6 cans of vegetables (I have also used frozen or fresh when in season) My favorites include Corn, Carrots, Green Beans, Peas, Mushrooms, Potatoes. or, again, whatever is in my cabinet/freezer.
1 can diced tomatoes
1 jar (large size) Spaghetti sauce I usually pick a basic flavor. I have also used homemade.
1 can tomato paste.

Combine all ingredients, add 1 1/2 jars of water to the crock pot. Cook for 5-6 hours. Enjoy!
