{Crock Pot Vegetable Beef Soup}

There is just nothing better on a cold and rainy day than a hot bowl of soup. I grew up eating this soup weekly during the fall and winter and I have always loved it. I would say it is my favorite soup of all time. It is hearty and delicious. I am also proud to say that my 4 year old gobbled this up and asked for seconds! This child never eats veggies!! I was amazed!! If you are looking for a simple and delicious soup...this one is for you!

Crock Pot Vegetable Beef Soup

• 1 large onion (chopped)
• 1 lb. lean ground beef (or ground turkey or chicken)
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 16 oz. organic mixed vegetables (mine has green beans, carrots, corn and peas)
• 1 cup frozen baby lima beans
• 24 oz. stewed tomatoes (I use canned tomatoes from my mother-in-law's garden)
• 2 cups water
• salt and pepper to taste

Brown ground beef and onions in a skillet until beef is fully cooked and onions are translucent. Place in Crock pot. Add remaining ingredients (except for salt and pepper.) Cook for 6-8 hours on low. Salt and pepper to taste before serving.

**Feel free to play around with the veggies in this soup! You could really use any veggies that you like!! Sometimes I add shredded cabbage to this as well! So good!

ENJOY!!!
