This is a great hearty, cooler weather soup. We love it in the evenings when the temperature starts to dip down cooler, which will be happening here in Iowa before we know it!

- Vegetables of your choice (optional)*.
*Some suggestions are: carrots, green pepper, celery, onions, potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes, or frozen mixed veggies. I would add all of these.
Directions:
Brown meat. Add water, cover, and bring to a boil. Remove scum. Add above ingredients and cook until meat is tender. Add extra vegetables such as suggested. Let cook all day on low (10-12 hours) or 8-10 hours on high in crock pot. Watch close - cooking time really depends on your crock pot.

RE: Vegetable Soup
What's the purpose of frying the onion prior to adding it to the rest of the ingredients? Sounds delicious! (01/08/2007)

RE: Vegetable Soup
Hi....
The reason why you fry the onion, is so you can bring out the "sweetness" of the onion. Make sure you don't overcook. Fry just until the onions are clear and tender. Hope you try, it's a family favorite of ours.(01/10/2007)
