CROCK POT VENISON SOUP

Steps:

• In a large crock pot, mix 6 cups water with the dry onion soup packet and cream of mushroom soup.
• Brown the ground venison in a skillet with the oil until no longer pink. Reserve pan juices. Add the browned meat to the crock pot. Saute the diced onion in the reserved pan juice until slightly translucent, add minced garlic and cook just to aroma then transfer everything to the crock pot.
• Next, add all the vegetables, tomato sauce, lentils, bay leaves and bouillon to the pot. Cook on high until potatoes and lentils are tender (6 or 8 hours).
• Seasoning: add the soy sauce and crushed red pepper flakes. Add salt and pepper to taste. I also like to add some bottled hot sauce, seasoning salt blend (Greek, Spike or whatever you like)and/or dried herbs (sage, celery seed, etc.).
• Add the uncooked macaroni noodles and cook 30-45 minutes. Adjust seasoning as necessary and serve.
