Easy Hamburger and Veggie Soup
(this is a favorite of my very picky kids)
1# HB
1 medium onion (chopped as finely a you need to, to fake out your kids;)
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 can cream of (your choice, I use mushroom) soup
1 (46 oz) can V-8 type of vegetable juice
1# bag of frozen mixed veggies
Brown and drain meat, Combine all ingredients and simmer 45 minutes. Makes about a gallon of soup.
That's the official recipe, I also either add a second smaller can of V-8 or a partially can of water and throw in a handful or so of elbow macaroni. (good way to make it go farther)
My kids eat this up, there is never any leftovers!!!
