Crockpot Recipe: Reba Cahill’s Veggie Beef Soup

Reba Cahill’s Veggie Beef Crockpot Soup

Cowgirl Reba Mae Cahill of Wind in the Wires was so excited to learn about crockpot recipes.

She got her first crockpot in 1989. Not one to like to fuss in the kitchen, she could start her soup or stew in the morning after chores and loved the feel of knowing it slow cooked all day. Off she went to fix fences and wrangle cows with her black horse, Johnny Poe. The veggie choices varied for this crockpot recipe, but not the spices. Reba favored the mix of basil, dill and turmeric.
