Homemade Vegetable Soup

Here is my recipe for Homemade Vegetable Soup.

If yall didn't see this the other night on facebook. Here is my #recipe for #cooking #homemade soup.

First night, is Rump roast cooked in crock pot with carrots, potatoes, onions, and celery if you like that in your roast.
Just put the leftovers in your fridge crockpot and all.

Next night: if there is a LOT of meat left - I make barbque with that meat and save the juice and veggies for soup the next night.
If not a lot of meat left: I go ahead and make soup.

Since there is not a lot of meat left, brown up some ground beef crumbles. (a pound, pound and half, depending on your crockpot).

While that is browning, take a slotted spoon and scoop out the left over vegetables, to cut them up into bite size pieces, and then just put them back in the crockpot with the leftover roast juice. To this I add either fresh veggies on hand OR *TWO* cans of VeggeAll Homestyle LARGE CUT vegetables, and about 1.5 cups frozen corn kernals. Vegetables in the crockpot, drain and rinse the ground beef. Put it back in skillet and throw in a WHOLE chopped yellow onion. Just heat this enough that the onions start to change color a little and then dump this meat into the crockpot. Add either 2 big diced tomatoes or 1 big can diced tomatoes with juice. Put in two or three big pinches of fresh chives, 3 whole bay leaves, a few shakes of thyme, a few good shakes of garlic salt, a pinch of pepper, and then fill the rest of the crockpot up with either canned tomato juice or homemade tomato juice.

Let me know if you try it. We love it, so....
