Easy Vegetable Beef Soup for the Crock Pot

I am putting my new crock pot to great use. I have vegetable beef soup in it right now. This recipe is so easy, that I am almost embarrassed to share it with you.

I have an 8 quart crock pot and this recipe fills it up quiet nicely!

::2 pounds of ground beef---brown it before you put it in the crock pot (I do this so I will not have to skim the fat off of it later)

::2 cans of corn, drained

::2 cans of carrots, drained

::2 cans of peas

::1 can of crushed tomatoes

::2 big bottles of V8 Juice (of course tomato juice will work great too!

I used 6 potatoes (not cooked) I like for the potatoes to soak up all the yumminess of everything else that is cooking in the crock pot.

*Right before we eat I will cook some elbow macaroni to put in the soup

Serve with shredded cheese and sour cream.

See I told you that this is a very easy recipe!

Happy Crocking!

Of course, you can prepare this on the stove top if you do not have a crock pot. :)
