Elaine's Sirloin Burger Soup

Really chilly day yesterday got me thinking about soup, so I threw this together when I got home from work. The steak seasoning is imperative to the taste. If you can't find it in your area there are several good recipes for a substitute on 'Zaar. Reviews have stated "too much noodles" so I have edited to use only 4 ounces.

• Ready In: 1 hr 10 mins
• Serves: 6-8

Ingredients

• 1  tablespoon butter or 1  tablespoon margarine
• 1  lb  ground sirloin
• 1  small onion, diced
• 1  teaspoon  McCormick's Montreal Brand steak seasoning
• 2  tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1  cup water
• 4  cups beef broth
• 1  cup  v 8  vegetable juice
• 8  baby carrots, sliced thin
• 2  medium  red potatoes, peeled and diced

Directions

1. Cook ground sirloin and onions in butter in large saucepan, stirring to break up as small as possible for about 5 minutes, until meat is no longer pink.
2. Sprinkle steak seasoning and Worcestershire sauce over meat and continue stirring until meat browns.
3. Pour in water, scraping up brown bits from bottom of pan. Add broth, vegetable juice, and vegetables. Bring to boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 45 minutes.
