Crock Pot Steak and Mushroom Soup

Another soup that I tried with the extra mushrooms I got in my basket was Steak and Mushroom Soup.  I added some potatoes to it and it made a very hearty soup.

To start you need:
2 slices bacon
2 pounds steak, cut into 1 inch cubes
1 cup chopped onions
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
2 cups potatoes, cubed
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
5 cups beef stock
1 tsp each thyme, oregano, sage
1 tsp salt
2 bay leaves
freshly ground black pepper
1 cup plain greek yogurt or sour cream

Fry the bacon, and then remove it from the pan and crumble it into the crock pot.  Brown the steak in small batches so the pan doesn't cool off too much, and add browned steak to the crock pot.  Saute the onions and mushrooms in the pan next.  When they are done, add the Worcestershire sauce to de-glaze the pan, and then add to the crock pot.  Add potatoes, stock, seasonings, bay leaves and salt and pepper to the crock pot and stir.  Cook on low for 8-10 hours.  You can serve it this way, or you can remove about a cup of broth and mix it with the yogurt or sour cream and add back in.  I forgot this step, and the soup still tasted really good.
