Meet the Cook: This soup's one my mother taught me to make. It's good all year but especially when the weather's cold. In winter, I serve it with grilled cheese sandwiches. It would also be a nice lunch with a side salad or homemade corn bread. Even our grandchildren - we have four - like it. It's a good way of getting them to eat their vegetables. My husband and I have two grown daughters. -Edna Tilley, Morganton, North Carolina

I put everything in the slow cooker after browning the meat. I did throw in more soup bones than called for, but otherwise followed the recipe. Pretty good.
