I keep an old ice cream bucket in my freezer that I use to keep any leftover veggies in. It takes about a month for it to get full, then I make this delicious and satisfying soup. Even in the summer when it’s hot, I just use my crock pot to keep from heating the house up. With a slice of warm cornbread or saltine crackers, this makes a tasty and filling meal.
Ground Beef and Veggie Soup
1 lb. browned ground beef
Whatever veggies you have on hand. (I used potatoes, onions and carrots this time)
8 cups water
1-15 oz. can tomato sauce
6 beef or chicken bullion cubes
1 Tbs. sugar
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp celery salt
Salt and Pepper to taste
1/4 cup cold water
2 tsp. corn starch
Bring carrots to a boil in a large pot and cook for 15 minutes.
Add rest of veggies, ground beef, tomato sauce, sugar, bullion, salt, pepper, celery salt and garlic powder. Bring back to a boil and cook for 15 minutes more over medium high heat.
Mix corn starch with cold water, then stir into soup.
Cook for 5 minutes more. Serve.

It looks yummy!Thank you fro your sweet words today. I am trying not to be sad~but I miss my little guy so much! I am going to start a plane ticket piggy bank right now~ LOLHave a great evening!
Awesome tip on how to use leftover veggies! Seems like I'm always throwing away a few beans or one potato here and there…such a neat way to use them up. Looks like a great recipe!
Carrie: I can imagine how you feel. A plane ticket piggy bank sounds like a wonderful idea! God works in mysterious ways sometimes, you never know what the future holds.
Thanks Holly 
I hope you still make ice cream. It's hot outside. Great use of leftover odds and ends.
You know I've never used arrowroot powder before, but I'm going to get some and try it. I've been making beef soup for years without it, but this is a great recipe…you had me with "a warm slice of cornbread". Smiles.Haupihttp://hauplight.blogspot.com/
Haupi: I just started using arrowroot powder instead of cornstarch a few months ago. A personal decision after I read about how cornstarch might not be good for us. I love adding a little to gravies, sauces and soup to give it a thicker consistency. If a recipe calls for 1 Tbs. cornstarch, replace it with 2 tsp. arrowroot powder.
