I tweaked the recipe a little after reading the reviews... I used a 3.5# chuck roast, 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1 1/2 cup beef broth, 1/2 tsp rosemary, garlic powder, packet onion soup mix, seasoned salt and pepper. I sprinkled garlic powder all over meat before placing in crock pot. I then added the remaining ingredients and cooked on med for 8 hours. I removed the meat to slice. I strained the liquid and placed the meat back into the crock pot along with liquid. Placed hoagie buns w/ cheese under the broiler to toast and melt the cheese. Delicious!!!

Used fresh tomatoes, half and half, and just 1/4 cup butter. Very flavorful, but cream separated when added. Cream was fresh; a little research points to the acidity of the tomatoes as the reason. I'm not sure how to remedy it, but I'll try making a roux next time and adding the tomato mixture to the cream/butter to see if that makes a difference. That said, the soup tasted much better than it looked! Served with grilled cheese on sourdough...yummy!

very tasty! I tried the crock pot version, and thought the dressing was a little dry. Next time I'll follow the original version and put it in the oven. Hubby and kids loved it!
