Vegetable Beef Soup

Vegetable Beef Soup
Ingredients:

1½ lbs ground beef
1 c chopped onion
1 bell pepper, chopped
24 oz stewed tomatoes
12 oz mixed vegetables
2 cans beef broth
(¾ c ketchup)

Instructions:
Brown beef, onion and bell pepper; drain. Add tomatoes, vegetables,
broth and ketchup. Simmer for 1 - 3 hours.

Leftover roast beef can be put to good use in this soup. I like to saute the onion and bell pepper first to give them better texture and flavor. This is good with Italian bread or Cornbread on the side.
