Cheeseburgah Chowdah

I'm not one for measuring exact amounts so use your judgment.

Carrots
Celery
1-Onion
Hamburger
4 cups Chicken stock
11/2 cup Milk
Basil
2-Potatoes
1 cup or 2 Cheddar cheese 
A bit of garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste

Saute carrots, onions, and celery. Add hamburger. Cook until done and drain.  Add to crock pot.  Add chicken stock, garlic, potatoes,basil and milk.  Turn it on and cook for the day.  You can add the cheese closer to be being served or in the cooking stage.

This was soooo fantastic!

Easy Creamy Tomato Soup

I got this from a blog that I found while whoring around pinterest:

1 pkg ground sausage
1 jar of pasta sauce (or you can make your own)
1 cup of water
1 1/2 cups half and half
10 or so basil leaves chiffonaded

Heat it up and enjoy!  Its pretty freakin tasty and if you enjoy a little spice, use the hot Italian Sausage.  Yummers!
