"Make It In A Hurry" Crockpot Soup

After all the Thanksgiving cooking, a simple crockpot soup was a joy! I have a full-time job and feel a little "cooked out" anyway. I pulled out the crockpot, threw in a few items and went off to work. When I came home, dinner was ready! I love my crockpot.

1 pkg of frozen stew beef
1 14.5 oz can beef broth
1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
1 bag frozen vegetables
1 tsp sea salt
a dash of liquid smoke
(any leftover vegetables in the refrigerator)

I served it with toast sprinkled with parmesan cheese.

Chicken Beef Stew

While we were making candy on Saturday, my daughter was making a crock pot stew. She used

- a bag of small potatoes
- half a bag of baby carrots
- a chopped onion

She placed them all in the pot with a package of stew meat, 1/2 cup of water and sprinkled some Durkee Grill Creations steak seasoning on the ingredients.

After slow cooking for about 3 hours, she added a can of cream of chicken soup and cooked for another couple of hours. You would be surprised at how good it was. A very unique flavor.

It can't get easier than that!
