Beef Stew

Soup Base:

4 cups water (or fill your crock pot 1/2 way with water)
1 can cream of celery soup
1 can cream of tomato soup
1 small can tomato sauce
1 Tablespoon Shirley J Beef Bullion
2 Tablespoons Shirley J onion seasoning
1/3 cup Shirley J Universal sauce
Spices: bay leaf, pepper, basil

Root vegetables:
Celery
Onion, diced
Carrots
Potatoes

2 cups browned beef

After mixing base and spices, add other vegetables. Cook all day in a slow cooker. I turn my slow cooker on high until I get a boil, then down to low for the rest of the afternoon.
This soup has a rusty color that lets you know it is ready.

This is a great soup for beginners.  If you need help with your vegetables, try 4 cups potatoes, 4 cups carrots, 1 cup celery and 1 medium onion.  I never measure this stuff, just throw in what I like, but if you need a guide, try it.

This is a fabulous soup for winter.  So nice, when you are tired of chicken noodle.
