I omitted the canola oil and just dumped everything in the crock pot for 6 hours. I used left over roast beef, and even included the gravy. I added an onion and 2 celery stalks as others had suggested, reduced the salt by half (we're not salt lovers), and the result was wonderful. My husband was really impressed, I will definitely make this again.

Cost savings all around...what a great way to use up old bread! I combined melted butter, olive oil, garlic salt, parsley flakes, and parmesan cheese in a sealed container, added bread and shook until coated. I will never be buying in a box again, or even crackers - I much prefer these in my soup! Next time I'm going to cut my bread into 1" cubes and use in french onion soup, I bet it'll be a lot easier to eat then trying to saw through soggy french stick with a spoon!

I don't normally keep cream in the house, so this was a great alternative. Next time I will use minced garlic instead of garlic powder, and add a bit of parsley for colour. Quick & easy, definitely worth trying again!
