Fast vegetable soup with old fashioned taste. Sent to me by mom years ago. It was a big time saver while I was raising 3 boys as a single parent.

2 (14 ounce) cans water (use empty broth cans)

1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (12-16 ounce) bag frozen vegetables
1/2 cup small shell pasta (like orzo, stars,alphabets, etc)

Directions

1
In a large pot brown ground beef, stirring to break up.
2
Drain well.
3
Add broth, onion soup mix, water, tomatoes, bring to a boil, reduce heat simmer 5 minutes, add frozen vegetables, continue to simmer 10 minutes more.

This makes a fast, great-tasting soup in no time at all--freezes well.

Not quite like the real soup from the Venus De Milo, but reminiscent...

I just made this and my husband and I found the flavor to be very watery. I even added worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, shallot salt and regular kosher salt....it just didn't have a very strong flavor. Just kind of bland. I am not sure what it needs but it needs something.

This is a fantastic soup recipe! I had this cooked and on the table in 40 minutes. I had printed this out some time ago and up came the perfect opportunity to try it. I added a can of navy beans and still put in 1/4 cup of pasta. I also added 1 t garlic powder and 1/4 t red pepper flakes. Heat it up a little!! Barb, I love this soup! Thank you for the recipe!

This is almost EXACTLY the "Quick" recipe I use for soup. If I don't have time to simmer for hours and hours. Instead of the frozen veggies, I use Veg-All and I also add a can of dark red kidney beans. Sometimes I use sausage instead of the ground beef. Gives it an extra "Kick". I'm a Soup kinda girl. Love Soup!!
