sounds yummy....

I have a simple tomato soup I make sometimes... take one can of condensed tomato soup (preferably Campbells) and put it in a sauce pan... Then add one can of milk, basil and oregano to taste and about 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese.. Heat through until cheese melts... It is soo yummy...

this is the soup I made today.... I got it from the site Recipe Zaar.. they have a lot of good recipes there... i like it better then AllRecipes....

Easy Vegetable Beef Soup

A hearty, satisfying soup that's a cinch to make in your crock pot.

1 lb ground beef *

14 1/2 ounces beef broth

16 ounces frozen vegetables (you can use any blend you want basically)

14 1/2 ounces diced tomatoes

10 3/4 ounces condensed tomato soup

1 tablespoon minced onions

1 teaspoon italian seasoning

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1 1/4 cups water

1. In skillet, brown beef and drain off fat. Place beef in 3-4 quart crockpot.

2. Add remaining ingredients.

3. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or high for 3 1/2 to 4 hours.

* I made little mini meatballs (about 2 tsp size) instead of just browning the beef because my hubby likes meatballs and then cooked them in the oven before adding them to the mixture in the crock pot...

I'm on my way!

[Marilyn. 340]

I just realized that today was Thursday...

Every Thursday, growing up, was soup and homemade bread or buns day and usually homemade cinnamon rolls for dessert ..... It was heavenly to come home and smell the baking bread....

i love soup.... Hubby isn't a big fan, although he loves my corn chowder and my chicken tortilla soup... my mom made some pea soup when we were there last and he likes that now too and wants me to make some soon...
