add Crock Pot Girl as a friend on FB they post new recipes everyday, though they don't have nutritional info. I didnt go through 14 pages of comments to see if this had been added yet so sorry if its a repeat
I just found what I'm making this weekend. Perfect for the football game. I'll make it without beer as a) i don't keep beer in the house and b) lower calories.
get some beef chunks cut into smaller chunks (I use 1 lbs of stew cut, then cut them into smaller pieces)
I add 3 carrots, 1 onion, 3 celery stalks, 1 turnip cut like a potato, 1 potato (whatever other veggies you want)
2.5 cups of water
1 enevelope of beef stew mix
1 beef boullion cube
Salt/pepper if you want
Leave all day.
When it is ready, add a can of corn and/or green beans.
Add 1 tablespoon of flour to thicken it. Add the flour and wait 10 minutes and it will thicken.
It comes out to about 100 calories per serving for me but put it in as a meal to calculate it based on what you use.
ok, i'm really bad at making gravy .... do you mix the flour with water first and then add ... or just throw the flour in the crockpot, stir and wait 10 minutes?
2 cups chopped fresh or frozen (defrosted) spinach
2 cups cooked small pasta like ditalini or elbows (al dente)
extra parmesan cheese to top (extra pts)
Rinse and drain beans. Puree beans with 1 cup of the broth in a blender.
In a crock pot, combine broth, tomatoes, pureed beans, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, herbs, Parmesan cheese rind, salt and pepper. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
Forty minutes before the soup is done cooking, add zucchini and spinach. Cover and cook 30 more minutes. Add cooked pasta, cook 10 minutes more. Remove bay leaves, rosemary sprig, parmesan rind and season to taste with salt and black pepper. Ladle soup into bowls and top with extra parmesan cheese.
