Crockpot Vegetable Beef Soup

If I were really on top of my game, I would have taken a picture of my homeschool Home Ec'ers making this a couple of weeks ago! Maybe next time. :) Anyway, this is our beloved Vegetable Beef Soup recipe! This makes a full crockpot, about 18 cups. This is double the original recipe.

Ingredients:
3 lbs beef stew meat

2 cans rotel

6 c. water

4 medium potatoes, cubed (peeled or unpeeled)

4 c. carrots, sliced (or 1 lb. baby carrots)

4 celery ribs, sliced

6 beef bouillon cubes

some minced onion

2 tsp. parsley

1 tsp. basil

1 tsp. oregano

1 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. pepper

3 c. frozen mixed vegetables

Instructions:

Combine all but the mixed vegetables in crockpot. Cook on high four hours or low eight hours. Add mixed vegetables and cook on high one additional hour.

Yield:

about 18 cups
