Easy Italian Crock Pot Soup - Frugal Family Favorite

• 1 lb ground beef
• 4 cups beef broth (I use bullion to make mine)
• 2 (10 ounce) canscans 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

1. Brown & drain the meat.
2. I rinse mine as well.
3. Add to crock pot,
4. Chop the carrots and celery into small pieces and add in, followed by everything else but the rice.
5. It is fine to just throw the beans in dry.
6. Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 6.
7. Before serving add cooked rice.
8. If you like your soup more like gumbo in consistency use 3 cups rice, if you like it soupy just use 2 cups.
