This is a hearty Italian soup. Serve with bread and it's a full meal. The recipe was originally from my husband's Aunt Tina. This can be done on regular stove or crock pot!

1 lb. orzo pasta, half cooked
1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
1 14 oz. can tomatoes
2 boxes or 3 cans beef broth
3 C. water
2 carrots, cut into bite size pieces
2 celery stalks, cut into bite size pieces
1 medium onion roughly chopped
3 medium red or white potatos
1 Tbs. minced or pressed garlic
2 tsp. pepper

Basically you stir together all ingredients and simmer on the stove on medium-low for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. If you want to do the crockpot version, stir in fully cooked pasta 20-30 minutes before you want to eat.
