Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 2 pounds of hamburger
• 4 medium carrots
• 4 medium potatoes
• 1 stalk of celery
• 1 large can of tomato juice
• 4 cups of milk
• 1 cup of water
• 1 medium onion
• 1 tsp of salt
• 1/4 tsp of pepper
• 1/3 cup of flour
• 1 frying pan
• 1 large pot

1. First crumble the ground beef and dice the onion and put in frying pan. Fry until ground beef is brown and the onions are soft. Drain grease and set aside.

2. While ground beef and onion is frying peel your carrots and potatoes and chop them. Dice the celery. Throw the potatoes, carrots and celery into a large pot

3. Pour in your 1 can of tomato juice and 1 cup of water into large pot. Heat until boiling. Make sure potatoes, carrots, and celery are tender. Reduce heat.

Tips & Warnings

• If soup is too thin add more flour to thicken it
• If soup is too red looking or taste more like tomatoes add more milk. You want a nice orange color for your soup.
• If you want a little more spice instead of using regular salt use seasoned salt
