With a few additions/changes this was a fabulous Vegetable Beef Soup recipe to start with. I didn't have mushrooms on hand so I left those out, but I'm sure they would have been yummy in the soup. Instead I added a can of stewed tomatoes. Also, because I like rice in my soup I added two boxes of rice-a-roni, only one package of the flavoring though. I used garden vegetable rice-a-roni. Adding the rice definitely makes the soup a lot thicker, so it's best to add another 3-4 cups of broth depending on how thick you want the soup. Oh, I should also mention that I did this in a crock pot instead of on the stove. The only reason I'm giving this recipe 4 stars instead of 5 is because of all the changes I made. Doing it in the crock pot made for an easy dinner when I got home from work and I served it with fresh, hot, crusty french bread from my bread machine. This was a great way to use up leftover pot roast and now I'm looking forward to today's lunch leftovers!
