                                                           Vegetable Beef Soup

Its very cold and snowy out today, so I decided to make some Vegetable Beef Soup. I may have posted this recipe before, but it's worth repeating on a day like this. It's healthy, delicious and will warm you up from your head to your toes! Give it a try; if it's cold and snowy where you are and you have the ingredients on hand.

1 1/2-2 Pounds Lean Stew Meat.
2-3 Low-Sodium Beef Bouillon Cubes or 2-3 Teaspoons Beef Base Seasoning.
Enough Water to cover the Meat well and cook it.
Pepper to taste.
5 Large Potatoes; peeled and cut into small cubes.
5-6 Large Carrots; cleaned and cut into circle slices.
1 Can Diced Tomatoes.
1 Can or Bottle Low-Sodium V-8 Juice.
Water to make it the consistency you like.

Put the Stew Meat, Water and Beef Base into the Crock-Pot.
Season with a small amount of Pepper.
Cover and cook on Low for 10-12 hours or on High for 5-6 hours.
Add in the Tomatoes and V-8 Juice after about 2-3 hours.
Add the rest of the Vegetables in during the last 1-2 hours of cooking time.
