Daines' Family Soup

This is VERY EASY and delicious! You could include it as one of your 3 month supply recipes for food storage.

Combine following ingredients in a crockpot. This recipe is very forgiving so feel free to experiment with different vegetables: fresh, fozen or canned. You can also play around with the amount of spices, although the recipe as it is is great.

1 bag frozen Southern Style hashbrowns
1 bag frozen broccoli
1/2 bag frozen corn or 1 can corn
1 bag fresh baby carrots
1 onion diced
1 can chicken broth
1 can cream mushroom soup (no water)
1 can cream chicken soup (no water)
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp thyme
1 Tbsp dried parsley
1/2-1/4 tsp black pepper
~1-1 1/2 lbs Meat of your choice

Let this cook all day with whatever meat you want in it. It tastes great with chicken, sausage or beef (I haven't tried beef yet). You can put in frozen meat, cook 6-8 hours, then pull it out and shred it before putting it back into the soup.

ADD:

1 can canned milk
1-2 cups grated cheese of your choice

Stir the remaining two ingredients in just before serving. You can thin the soup by adding water if you don't like your soup thick.
