Cooking Instructions

6 mins
  1. 1

    Put meat in slow cooker. I like to brown the meat first so it is already separated and the grease content is low.

  2. 2

    Add onion soup mix, pepper, seasoned salt, oregano, basil, onion, celery, carrots, tomato sauce, and soy sauce to the slow cooker.

  3. 3

    Add as much beef broth as you like. Or, if you are like me and prefer to add water and bullion cubes make sure you add one cube per 1 - 1 1/2 cups of water. The amount of broth depends on what you like. Because the pasta (see below step) absorbs so much, I would say to put at least 5 or 6 cups of broth in. If you dont like a lot of broth, put in less. There is no legal statute dictating how much to put in. Gotta love America.

  4. 4

    Cook for no less than 4 hours to get the flavors to swirl around. Plus, don't you love the intoxicating aroma of soup filling the halls of your house? Any longer than 8 hours, even on low setting, can dry the meat out, especially if you substitute with ground turkey.

  5. 5

    15 to 20 minutes prior to serving, add the macaroni. I like the whole wheat kind. It gives me the illusion that I am somehow being healthier. If you like science, watch the broth levels lower while the mass of the noodles increase.

  6. 6

    Serve with parmesan cheese on top. It gives the soup that extra something special.

  7. 7

    Photos are forthcoming once I make this again. DISCLAIMER: if you like soup that sucks, this one is not for you. If you like soup that doesn't suck, then you my friend are in for a treat!

I cook for my family every Sunday. I love making soups in particular in my slow cooker during cold months. I think my pallette sets the standard and anyone who disagrees has a mutated pallette. My wife disagrees.
