ingredients

1 lb ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
¹⁄₄ teaspoon pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
4 cups beef broth
3 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can Italian-style diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (11 1/2 ounce) can V8 vegetable juice
1 cup chopped celery (I love using some of the tops)
1 cup sliced carrot
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
2 teaspoons dried basil
¹⁄₂ teaspoon dried thyme
1 bay leaf

directions

In a nonstick skillet, cook beef and onion over medium high heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in salt and pepper.
Transfer to a 5 quart slow cooker. Add the remaining ingredients. Cover and cook on low for 9 to 11 hours or until vegetables are tender. Discard bay leaf before serving.
Depending on how "juicy" you like your soup, you can add more beef broth and V8 juice if you like.
A little sweet potato substituted for some of the white potato might be good -- and I find adding a little cabbage to vegetable soup always kicks up the flavor just a notch.

This is a picture of me with my oldest grandson, DJ and was taken this past summer when we went on a cruise and land tour of Alaska. I am retired after working for the same company for 25 years. My husband is a retired military officer. After the military he started working for Lockheed and is now retired from there as well. We live in San Jose, CA and have lived in the same house for over 33 years. We have two grown children and 6 beautiful grandchildren. I love to try new recipes and jazz up old ones. Taste of Home and Southern Living are my favorite recipe magazines(I enjoy reading a little bit about the people who submit the recipes). Recipe Zaar is just an incredible site. I've made many new friends since joining. I have tons of cookbooks -- but now when I need a new recipe that I know I can count on, I come here! <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj240/marienixon_715/kittencaljpg.jpg"> <img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y227/vjuhl/MEPcookathon.jpg">
