Beef Stew Soup
1 quart jar tomato juice (I juice my tomatoes from my garden) You can use canned diced tomatoes, tomato sauce and extra water, or whatever you want. Just make it about a quart.
2 quarts water (Sometimes I use more tomatoes and less water...just make sure it's about 3 quarts total between the tomatoes and water.)
Some Dry Onions (I never measure...a few tablespoons)
6 Beef Bouillon Cubes
Carrots
Potatoes (I use canned)
Salt to Taste
Pepper (I use quite a lot)
3 cans of Canned Beef, juice and all (I use the ones from Aldi)

I dump it all in a pot and boil until the potatoes are tender. Then it's ready to eat! Yum! From start to finish it takes about 30 - 40 minutes to have it ready...depending on how much help you get peeling and cutting the potatoes! :) Enjoy!
Here is a good one from Melissa Orton....Thanks Melissa
