EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Instead of beef broth, use 4 cups of your own favorite broth for this recipe.

Use whole-grain wild rice for this soup; rice labeled broken or cracked loses its shape during long slow cooking.

Homemade soup makes a great lunch to tote to school or work. Transfer leftover cooled soup to single-serving plastic freezer containers and freeze for up to 6 months. Reheat the soup in the microwave.

Fantastic and simple recipe. A hearty stew perfect for a crisp autumn evening. I added three more celery stalks than suggested in the recipe. Definitely a repeat. Next time, will add more carrots too. Prep time is quick, and you just toss the ingredients into the slow cooker, set it, and in about 6 hours you have a delicious stew ready for you. Does make approximately six servings. I highly recommend eating this with a hearty crusty bread alongside for dipping and soaking up that wonderful mushroom and beef broth.
