Name: Beef Tomato Soup
Ingredients: 1 lb lean ground beef; 1 small sweet onion (finely diced); 2 tsp minced garlic; 1 cup carrots (diced); 1 cup celery (diced); 28 oz crushed tomatoes; 1/2 box pasta; 48 oz beef broth; 1 tsp fresh lemon juice; 1 tsp Italian seasoning; 2 bay leaves; salt and pepper (to taste)

This is my absolute favorite soup. It is hearty, delicious and it is SO easy to make. I usually prep the veggies the night before so that all I have to do is get the soup going.
