Ground Beef Vegetable Soup

Lainey6605's Note:

This is a delicious and satisfying soup I make often. It is from "A Taste of Myrtle Beach" cookbook, which features recipes from the area's best restaurants. This soup is from Caroline's Cafe. This also works very well in the crockpot. Just brown the ground beef and add everything else to the crockpot and let it cook on low for about 6 hours.

Delicious! No onions were used, due to allergies, but, it wasn't missed. I replaced with diced celery. Yum, thank you.

Easy-peasy vegetable beef soup recipe - love that this is so versatile and can be made with whatever you have hanging around! I halved the ground beef and opted for the frozen veggies. Browned the beef and then threw everything into a crockpot on Low for 8 hours and it was great. The ketchup does add a little somethin'-somethin' - don't omit it!
