Nutritious Soup

• 16 ounces minced beef
• 1 liter beef broth
• 19 ounces canned whole tomatoes
• 19 ounces kidney beans
• 14 ounces pinto beans
• 1 large onion, diced
• 1 medium green pepper, diced
• 2 carrots, cut small
• 2 celery ribs, cut small
• 2 cups fresh mushrooms, cut up or 2 cups canned mushrooms
• 1 1/2 cups fusilli
• 1 1/2 teaspoons oregano leaves

1. Precook meat in microwavable dish for approximately 10 minutes on medium power.
2. Put it and all remaining ingredients in 5 quart crock pot.
3. Stir to mix all ingredients.
4. Cook on low for 5 to 6 hours.
5. NOTE: I slightly precook all ingredients in my microwave to speed up the cooking time, as I like this soup for lunch. As for freezing, it never lasts long enough around here. I see no problem in freezing though, as all ingredients are freezable.
