Jenn's Kick Ass Vegetable Beef Soup

I have made vegetable soup for years. It's a simple, toss everything together sort of soup. Perfect for a cold, wet fall day in the Pacific Northwest. 

I found this crock pot vegetable soup recipe that I wanted to use as my base. Turns out there's very little from it that I used. The seasoning primarily is what I used.

This mix is the BEST mix I've ever had on vegetable beef soup. I'm going to even call it Jenn's Kick Ass Vegetable Beef Soup (to go along with my Kick Ass Stroganoff , my Kick Ass Bolognese and my Kick Ass Chicken Scaloppini.

This one is going into the FAVORITE list this year too. I can't wait for the leftovers.
