Vegetable Beef Noodle Soup

Ingredients:

• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 1 small onion, finely diced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 can (15 oz) Italian-style stewed tomatoes
• 2 cans (15 oz each) beef broth
• 1 can (15 oz) petite diced tomatoes, do not drain
• 1 can (15 oz) mixed vegetables, drained
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1½ cups uncooked egg noodles

Instructions:

1. Brown the ground beef, onion, salt, and pepper in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Crumble the beef as it cooks. Once the beef is no longer pink, drain the grease.
2. Blend up the can of stewed tomatoes in a blender and add to the soup pot with the cooked beef. Add the beef broth, diced tomatoes, mixed vegetables, basil, and parsley. Bring to a boil.
3. Once boiling, stir in the uncooked egg noodles, and cover the pot with a lid. Turn the heat to low and let the soup cook for 12-15 minutes.
