Crock Pot Roast

Beef Roast
Onion Soup Mix - Lipton
French Onion - Cambell's Soup
Water

Poke holes into the beef roast and put into the crock pot. Top with water, French Onion Soup, and then Onion Soup Mix. Cook for 4 hours on high. Use the liquid in the crock pot to make gravy.

I used a Beef Round Sirloin Tip Roast.

Tortilla Fire Soup (Kristi Original)

Chris picked up a dry soup, in a bag, from Menards. The brand was Shorelunch and the flavor was Tortilla. The soup calls for water and one can of chopped tomatoes. I followed the instructions, except instead of the tomatoes, I added a bunch of other ingredients. The soup ened up VERY spicy so I had to add additional water. The soup was very yummy. Here's what I did....

Ingredients
Shorelunch Tortilla Soup
1/2 a Jalapeno Pepper
1/2 an Onion
2 Cans of Tomatoes Mixed with Chilies
1/2 a Can of Black Beans

Toppings
Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Sour Cream
Avocado
Tortilla Chips

Saute Onions and Jalapenos until they are cooked.
Follow the instructions on the soup except add twice the amount of water and instead of tomatoes add the two cans of tomatoes mixed with chilies and black beans. When the soup is done top with cheddar cheese, sour cream, avocado, and/or tortilla chips.
