The house smelled so good when I got home today and this soup tasted so good on a cold winter’s night; I highly recommend it!  It’s from a website called “Favorite Family Recipes”.

2 pounds ground beef (this makes a ton of soup so I just added 1 pound of ground beef)

1 onion, chopped

3 carrots, shredded (I just sliced them)

1 cup celery, chopped

2 (28 oz each) cans diced tomatoes, undrained

1 (16 oz) can red kidney beans, drained

1 (16 oz) can white kidney beans, drained

4 cups beef stock

3 teaspoons oregano

2 teaspoons pepper

5 teaspoons parsley

1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce

1 (20 oz) jar Prego traditional spaghetti sauce

8 oz pasta

1  Brown ground beef in large skillet.  Drain fat.  Add beef and all ingredients except pasta into a large crock pot.  Cool on low for 7 – 8 hours or on high for 4 – 5 hours.

2  Before serving, cook pasta according to package directions, drain and add to soup.
