Southern Living Annual 1982 via Anna on YouTube channel “Cooking the Books”
Recipe Introduction
I assumed that this would be basically the same as Momma’s vegetable soup with ground beef added. It was not the same. It was very good and much easier than Momma’s soup. You have two choices as far as cooking goes – either stovetop or slow cooker. SL calls for stovetop and Anna did it in the slow cooker. She says it took 2 hours on HIGH. My vegetables were nowhere near tender enough at 2 1/2 hours. I would really love to do this in the slow cooker, so next time, I’ll try canned Veg-All instead of frozen or go for 4 hours. I added some additional seasonings: pepper and Penzey’s Forward! and Mural of Flavor.
