To celebrate the first day of fall I am sharing one of my favorite soup recipes with you. I shared this with you over a year ago, but I figure you guys don't commit too much of what I say to memory so it will be like the first time all over again :)
This in one of my FAVORITE recipes, primarily because my Grandma Gracie gave it to me when I was in college. I love that it reminds me of her. I love that my family has grown up with it. And we love how it tastes.
Italian Vegetable Soup
Ingredients:
2 cans Italian Style Stewed Tomatoes
1 large can Veg-All drained
2 cans Beef Broth
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup egg noodles
1/2 tsp. oregano
Brown ground beef with onion and drain. Dump everything (except egg noodles) into a pot or a crockpot. If cooking stovetop, allow all ingredients to come to a boil, add egg noodles and then simmer 10 minutes. If cooking in crockpot, allow all ingredients (except egg noodles) to cook on low 6 hours, add egg noodles 30 minutes prior to serving.
This freezes well. Also, there are several variations you can do
1) If you occasionally want a vegetarian meal, just leave out the ground beef
2) If you don't like Veg-All, just add canned veggies of your choice
3) If you don't like using canned veggies, frozen ones work just as well
Over the course of time, I have used all of these variations and never been disappointed.
Because of the oregano this soup smells so good cooking when you come home from work. That is why I like and use the crock pot method most of the time.
I hope you and your crew enjoy a good bowl of Grandma Gracie's soup. She'd absolutely be thrilled to know we are all still enjoying it. She left us a legacy of good food and lots of love.
Have the best week!
