With adding many of the substitutions given, it was FABULOUS! Added an extra potato, and an extra cup or so of water with a broth paste. Everyone really loved the combination of tomato and broth. So yummy we finished it for lunch the next day, was even better!!! Mmmmm..

I made this soup and we loved it. I did change a few things after making it twice now. I used only 4 boulion cubes and added no salt. I used 2 1/2 cups of water and it browned my meat in olive oil, and used paper towel to take off any excess grease. My friends who came to lunch, loved it.

This recipe sounds really good with a fresh, hot pan of cornbread with a touch of honey mixed into the batter to give it that touch of sweetness in every bite.

This was the best soup that I have had in a long time. For those complaining about the salt, just omit it.. the bouillion has salt in it. Thanks for a great recipe.

Just made this and it was SOOOO GOOD!!!! I used 2 small cans of beef broth in place of the water and cubes. I used 15 oz. of crushed tomatoes and 15 oz. of Hunt's tomato sauce for lasagna. I loved the basil in this (I used the freeze-dried) & I cut the salt and pepper back to 1 tsp. each and added a small bag of diced baby carrots and used 3 Lg. baking potatoes. I did add one packet of suagr in the raw to off-set the bitterness of the tomatoes. Mine was done and perfectly tender in 6 hours on low, but my crock pot does cook fast. I will be making this often! Thank you for sharing your recipe!!!

This was amazing. I did change a few things. It was a little too salty, so I added 4 cups of water. I only cooked for 6 hours instead of 8. I didn't use onions, but included extra potatoes and one extra tablespoon of basil. yuummmmy! i'll be making it again sooon!

This is a very easy vegetable beef soup! Made for a friend that just came out of the hospital - perfect comfort food. I added two cans of V8 and used the best italian crushed tomatoes I could find (with basil added) for the sweetness of their tomatoes. Turned out perfectly. Thanks for the recipe. Will be using this one again.

I had to make some minor changes after the fact, but this recipe is a staple in my kitchen from now on! I agree with others, don't add the salt and use 3 cups of water. We followed the recipe to the letter and it was WAY salty! Once we added the extra water, though, it was DELISH.

I made a 30 serving portion for a party of 24. People came back for seconds. Everyone loved it. I omitted the salt and it was perfect. I didn't have a crock-pot large enough so I used a large stock pot. I sauted the beef in a little bit of olive oil. Added all the ingredients ,Except the mixed vegetables, and cooked it on simmer, with a tight lid, from 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. I then added the mixed veggies and continued to simmer until 6:30 p.m. It was cooked perfectly. Everyone loved it!

I thought this was ok. I changed it by using 2 cups of beef broth and 1.5 tsp of salt. I just couldn't see using so many bouillon cubes, and I usually just use broth anyway. The veggies were a little mushy after cooking for 8 hours, and I just didn't love the flavor over all. I think in the future, I will use fresh vegetables and maybe omit the tomatoes. But won't use this recipe again.

I really should have followed other pople's reviews as I made this according to the recipe and it was terribly salty. Next time I think I will use a can of beef consume instead of all the stock cubes and the water and also omit the stock. Also I think the pepper made it taste funny so next time I think I'll add it at the end just befor serving. Otherwise I think it would have been really nice. It certainly smelt fantastic and the texture of everything was lovely.

I swapped out the water/boullion for 2 cups of beef broth and used fresh corn & green beans rather than frozen veggies, but I have to say I was really disappointed. After cooking on high for 4 hours (per one of the reviews about getting the potatoes done) I tasted this and the best word I can come up with is: BLAND! After adding a cup of red wine, 2 heaping tablespoons of minced garlic, 2 heaping tablespoons of basil, 3-4 bay leaves and a packet of lipton's dry vegetable soup mix and letting it cook another 3-4 hours it still lacked zing to me.

I have made this recipe many times and it is great!! To get the potatoes to be done I cook it on high for about 4 hours and then low the rest of the time. Like other people have said cut back on the bouillon to at the most 6 cubes. I also only use a teaspoon of Basil. The last change is I put in 2 1/2 to 3 cups of water. This is a great meal for leftovers. I think it tastes even better the next day.
