Simple Soup

This is a super easy way to make homemade soup.  I bought a pre-packaged soup mix that contained the spices, noodles, and veggies. 

        

 Instead of adding just the 8 cups of water and cooking it for 20 minutes in a pot, I did a few things to make it better.   I added 4 cups of beef broth, 1lb of cooked ground beef, and I cooked it all in the crock pot, on low, for about 3 hours.  The broth and meat enhanced the flavor and brewing it for hours helped the flavors come together.  It was very savory!  

I served it with some grilled cheese sandwiches and it made a very good dinner.

  My secret for amazing grilled cheese is the mini George Forman grill.  It is awesome for pressing grilled cheese and panini sandwiches!
