Hamburger Soup

1 lb. lean hamburger, browned and drained
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
3 cups boiling water
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 cup celery, sliced
1 cup macaroni, cooked and drained
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon basil
1 envelope dry onion soup mix
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1 can (8oz.) tomato sauce
1 cup carrots sliced or 1/2 cup dried carrots

Combine all ingredients in a crock pot or slow cooker. Cover and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours. Turn control to high for last 15 minutes.

Testing comment: Tasty, quick, and easy. To make even easier, try adding uncooked macaroni and unreconstituted carrots and onions. Increase water.
