Carne Asada Crock Pot Soup
On Sunday I threw together a soup using a bunch of stuff from my cupboards. It wasn’t supposed to be a soup originally but I changed my mind mid recipe. It was seriously good and easy.
Ingredients:
-Tri Tip
-1 TBSP Paprika
-2 TBSP Montreal Steak Seasoning
-S+P
-1 Box Chicken Broth
-2 Cans of Navy Beans, drained
-1 Can Chopped Tomatoes with Roasted Garlic
-1 Can No-Salt Corn
I took a big hunk of tri tip that I had in my freezer from Lu’s birthday party-probably around 1.5 pounds and put that into the crock pot frozen. I topped it with the seasonings and a little chicken broth. Cook on low for 4 hours.
I added the rest of the ingredients (including all the broth) and cooked on low for an additional 2 hours. I had envisioned the meat shredding but that didn’t happen. So I took it out and that end and sliced thin pieces of meat (like Carne Asada) and added it back to the soup. I think the sliced beef ended up much better than shredded beef would have been.
I topped mine with Fage and Avocado. Shaun got Sour Cream, Avocado, and Cheese on his. I think it would have been great with some corn chips too.
Lucy gave it a “mmmm-mmmm-mmm-mmm” and Shaun gave it 3 stars-big praise from a man who claims to “HATE soup”.

Hates soup!?!?!?
Did you change the blog format? Looks good!
Amber-do you eat meat?
Kath-Yes he hates soup. He’s seriously so particular about food. Nope, I haven’t changed it yet. I just have a few tweaks to make and I should do it shortly. I hate the font and I hate that it’s justified, so we’ll have to fix that-and SOON!
