This recipe is great for those very cold winter days or just when you feel like eating soup. I usually serve this with hot garlic bread or hot crusty French bread. &mdashKelly Milan, Lake Jackson, Texas Ingredients:
1 pound ground turkey or beef |
2 cups sliced celery |
1 cup chopped onion |
2 teaspoons minced garlic |
4 cups water |
2 medium red potatoes, peeled and cubed |
2 cups frozen corn |
1-1/2 cups uncooked small shell pasta |
4 pickled jalapeno slices |
4 cups v8 juice |
2 cans (10 ounces each) diced tomatoes with green chilies |
1 to 2 tablespoons sugar |
Directions:
1. In a Dutch oven, cook the beef, celery and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Drain. Stir in the water, potatoes, corn, pasta and jalapeno.
2. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until pasta is tender. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Cook and stir until heated through.
3. Serve immediately or cool and freeze in a freezer container. May be frozen for up to 3 months.
4. To use frozen soup: Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Transfer to a saucepan. Cover and cook over medium heat until heated through. Yield: 10 servings (3-3/4 quarts).
