This vegetable beef soup recipe is great on a cold winter day. Serve with homemade cornbread, biscuits, or crackers.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 6 red potatoes finely diced
- 1 onion diced

- 1 ½ cups water divided
- 46 fluid ounce bottle tomato-vegetable juice cocktail
- 2 cups frozen green beans
- 15 ounce can whole kernel corn drained
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Cook and stir beef, potatoes, and onion in a large pot over medium heat until beef is no longer pink. Cover and continue simmering, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place carrots and 1/2 cup water in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high until carrots are tender, about 5 minutes.
