This is a great way to clean out left over veggies. My neighbor lady keeps a container for little dabs of veggies in her freezer. When it gets full, she makes soup. So, this is inspired by her. You could also do this in a crock pot. Freezes well. Play around with the flavors and veggies your family likes. Freezes well.

  • Servings: a big pot-- enough to freeze for later

Ingredients:

In The Bottom of a Large Stock Pot, scramble cook
1 lb Ground Beef
1 Onion Diced Small
Until Beef Is No Longer Pink.
Drain Off Any Fat.
Add
2 cup V8 Juice
4-6 cup Beef Broth, start with 4 c and add more later if necessary
4-6 Large Potatoes Cut Into Bit Sized Pieces
3-4 Carrots Cut Into Bite Sized Pieces
Let This Simmer, for awhile until carrots and potatoes get close to fork tender.

Directions:

This part is totally flexible to your tastes.

Add

mixed left over veggies (4-6 cups)

OR

2-3 bags of frozen mixed veggies

1 can chopped stewed tomatoes

1 can corn

1 can green beans

(or whatever veggies you want to add)

1 can beans (I use rinsed kidney beans)

salt and pepper to taste

Sometimes I add a bit of oregano or thyme... whatever makes you happy.

Sometimes I add a couple of bullion cubes or some Kitchen Bouquet if it isn't beefy enough.

Kick it up with a bit of cayenne pepper or some hot sauce if you like.
