Easy Italian Crock Pot Soup - Frugal Family Favorite

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 4 cups beef broth (I use bullion to make mine)

• 2 (10 ounce) cans cans rotel (or use diced tomatoes and onions)

• 1 (10 3/4 ounce) can tomato soup
• water, 1 soup can
• 1 cup dried kidney beans
• 3 carrots
• 3 stalks celery
• salt or pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons italian seasoning
• 2-3 cups cooked rice

Directions

1. 1

   Brown & drain the meat. I rinse mine as well. Add to crock pot,

2. 2

   Chop the carrots and celery into small pieces and add in, followed by everything else but the rice. It is fine to just throw the beans in dry.

3. 3

   Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 6. Before serving add cooked rice. If you like your soup more like gumbo in consistency use 3 cups rice, if you like it soupy just use 2 cups.
