Rich and filling, this soup is plenty for 4-6 hungry people. It's even more filling with the addition of a few soda crackers, or a small amount of rice or elbow macaroni.

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 4 cups tomato juice
• 2 cups water
• 1-2 medium onions, chopped
• 2-3 carrots, chopped
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1 teaspoon beef bouillon concentrate or granules
• 2 teaspoons no-salt seasoning
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

1. Brown beef in a large stock pot. Drain fat. Return meat to stock pot along with all remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil; then, reduce heat and simmer for one hour, stirring occasionally.
2. If adding rice or elbow macaroni, add during the last 20 minutes of cooking.
3. To make the soup even more filling, garnish with cheese or croutons.
