Ground beef and macaroni add heartiness to this soup sent in by Patricia Staudt of Marble Rock, Iowa. It's nicely seasoned...and nicely priced, too, at 37 cents per bowl.

Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
4 cups reduced-sodium tomato juice
3 cups water
3/4 cup uncooked elbow macaroni
1 envelope onion soup mix
1/4 teaspoon chili powder

Directions

In a large saucepan, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Add the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes or until macaroni is tender.

Editor's Note: The cost per serving does not include optional ingredients such as garnishes. When there is a choice of two ingredients, the cost is figured with the first one listed.

This is a wonderful, delicious and easy soup. I've been making it for a few years now. My nephew once said, "it's a party in my mouth!!!" when I served it to him!!!

Very easy to make, but a little too simple in taste for me. Maybe add some veggies to it.

This is a very good soup. It is so easy especially since you don't even have to cook the macaroni first.
