Recipe for Steak Soup

Carol has shared three easy crock pot recipes on her blog today. I promised to post a super easy one here in return.

Steak Soup

Ingrediants:

1 steak (I usually use a top round steak or sirloin because they are lean)

1 large, white onion, sliced into thin rings

8-12 onces of sliced mushrooms

3 cans of low salt, low fat beef broth

Toss that steak in the bottom of the crock pot first thing in the morning (or if you're like me after you've had that first cup of coffee and check your bloglines).

Throw the onion slices and mushrooms on top of the steak.

Pour the broth over all. Turn on low and cook all day.

Before serving:

Remove the steak to a platter and flake, using two forks.

Return the steak to the pot and serve.

All this meal needs is a large loaf of crusty bread and butter. The good thing about this recipe is that it is so easy to adjust the amount. Just add more stuff. Sometimes the onion isn't as big or sometimes the steak is huge. The proportions don't seem to matter too much.

I'll try to fix this sometime soon and republish with a picture.
