Here is a Hamburg Vegetable Soup for Lauren July 26, 2009 Newsletter

 Hamburg Vegetable Soup

1 pound ground beef
2 cups potatoes diced
1 cup carrots sliced
1 cup onions chopped
1 cup celery chopped
1 small can (8 oz) green beans drained
1 can (46 oz ) tomato juice (I use Campbell's)
2 cups water
salt & pepper to taste

Brown meat, drain off fat. Combine meat, vegetables, tomato juice and water in large kettle. Simmer for 1-1/2 hours or until vegetables are tender.

Is type of recipe you can play with adding some other left over veggies etc. I have even added left over meat loaf before and it was delicious. If adding more vegetables...might have to add more juice and/or water.
