It's very flexible for whatever you want to add - this is just how we like to make it.<BR/><BR/>Sarah's Vegetable Soup<BR/>- 1 lb lean ground beef, ground turkey breast, or ground chicken breast<BR/>- 3 cans chicken broth (I use low sodium)<BR/>- 1 8oz can basil, garlic, & oregano flavored tomato sauce<BR/>- 1 6oz can basil, garlic, & oregano flavored tomato paste<BR/>- Chili powder<BR/>- Salt-free all-purpose seasoning<BR/>- Canned (or fresh) vegetables - green beans, green peas, corn, sliced carrots, pinto beans, kidney beans, sliced (red) potatoes, diced tomatoes, or any other vegetables you prefer<BR/><BR/>In crockpot, add chicken broth, tomato sauce, and tomato paste. Mix and turn crockpot to high. Add spices to cover the mixture (or add to taste). Cook meat in a pan and add to crockpot. Rinse canned vegetables one by one in a strainer to remove all liquid, then add to crockpot. Be sure you rinse the beans until the bubbles disappear to remove the majority of the sodium. Mix all contents in crockpot. Cook on high for a few hours or until simmering, stirring occasionally. Either turn off or switch to low for a few more hours (your preference for flavor).<BR/><BR/>Hope you enjoy! We eat this a lot, since it's so easy once it's made, and it serves a lot of meals and is easy to take for lunches... plus it's incredibly yummy, especially with bread or crackers!<BR/><BR/>SarahSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06261969523415605329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-975620734363111967.post-53869785532211420192009-02-03T07:35:00.000-07:002009-02-03T07:35:00.000-07:00I made this in my crock-pot on Sunday and it was a...I made this in my crock-pot on Sunday and it was a big hit at my house. <BR/><BR/>Slow Cooker Shrimp Creole<BR/>1 cup diced celery<BR/>1 cup chopped onion<BR/>1 cup chopped green pepper<BR/>1 can (8 ounce) tomato sauce<BR/>1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes<BR/>1 clove minced garlic<BR/>1 teaspoon salt<BR/>1/2 teaspoon pepper<BR/>1/2 teaspoon paprika<BR/>1/2 teaspoon hot sauce<BR/>1 pound shrimp<BR/><BR/>Combine all ingredients except shrimp in 5 quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on low 6-7 hours. One hour before serving, turn slow cooker to high and add shrimp. Serve over rice. Serves 6. <BR/><BR/>Cook's Tip: For a spicer version add additional hot sauce before adding shrimp. <BR/><BR/>(Recipe from Marketday.com)<BR/><BR/>I also added chopped zucchini and yellow peppers, because I had them and they needed to be used up. It was really good. It is something I would make again but I would add more hot sauce next time to make it spicier. Hope you like it.<BR/><BR/>I use my crock-pot two to three times a week. I'll try to get some more recipes together and send them to you.Shelly Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14398221876041824110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-975620734363111967.post-11416157352372362712009-02-02T07:44:00.000-07:002009-02-02T07:44:00.000-07:00I will look up some good crock pot recipes and sen...I will look up some good crock pot recipes and send them.
