TGIF

It's a good day for dad's veggie soup...

I actually make this soup all the time. But I have made a few changes along the way. I now make it in a crock pot, because it's so easy and I love the way it makes the house smell...

If you'd like the original  recipe it's here.

Vegetable Beef Soup
2 medium Zucchini (cubed)

 2 medium carrots sliced 1/4 inch thick (I used a small bag of mini carrots)

10 white button mushrooms, sliced

2 stalks celery sliced 1/4 inch thick

1 large russet potato-peeled and cubed
2 onion-sliced
1 lb. Beef (cut in cubes)

1/2 lb green beans cut in half diagonally

4 cups vegetable broth

3 cups canned crushed tomatoes -drained

1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

2 tbsp chopped garlic (I love garlic)

1/4 cup chopped fresh basil or 2 tsp dried

1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano or 2 tsp dried

Add ground pepper to taste 

Saute' the beef in a pan with a little oil over high heat, until beef in browned.

Add the cooked beef and all the other ingredients to a crock pot. Cook for 8-10 hours on low.

Sprinkle with parmesan cheese...

Have a cozy weekend...
