Vegetable Beef Soup

I decided to post a healthy low-fat recipe on here this morning. The way I make this soup it is very healthy and low in fat. Also delicious! Give it a try! If you like soup I'm sure you'll like this!

1 1/2 pounds Beef Stew Meat.
Water to cover.
3-4 low-sodium Beef Bouillon Cubes.
1 can Diced Tomatoes.
1 can low-sodium V-8 Juice.
Water to make the pot at least half full.
5 medium-large Potatoes. Cut-up.
6 large Carrots. Cut-up.
1 package Frozen Vegetable Soup Mix or
1 package Frozen Mixed Vegetables.

Place the Stew Meat in a large pot.
Add enough Water to cover a little above the meat.
Add the Bouillon Cubes.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and boil gently for about 2 hours.
Add the V-8 Juice and Tomatoes.
Add enough extra Water to make the pot at least half full; maybe a little more than half.
Continue cooking about 30 minutes.
Add the Carrots and potatoes.
Cook another 30 minutes.
Add the Frozen Vegetables.
Cook another 30 minutes or until everything is done and tender.
Serve with crackers.

My mother used to make this soup and I've been making it for years. It is a very good way to get a lot of vegetables in one meal. This will give you a lot of vitamins, as well as protein and other nutrients, too. I believe my mother used tomato juice, but the V-8 adds more nutrition and we really like it.
