HEARTY SOUP
USING DRY SOUP MIX

10 Cups water Many carrots, sliced
2 envelopes onion soup mix 2 tsp. seasoned salt
1 Cup dry soup mix 1/8 tsp. black pepper
½ Cup barley 1 Cup leftover roast beef Or
1 large can V-8 Or tomato juice hamburger Or canned beef
Many chopped celery, chunks Or canned ground
zucchini, etc. beef

Put water in large pot. Add soup mix, onion soup mix, barley, tomato juice, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. SIMMER for 1 hour. Test macaroni for doneness and add fresh carrots, meats (in any combination of those listed above) and any other vegetables you like. SIMMER approximately ½ hour more. Adjust liquid by adding more water if necessary. Serve. I like to add the celery, zucchini, etc. just before I serve it... makes a pleasing texture. Also, the trick with the soup mix is to SIMMER it, so all of the ingredients get done at the same time, otherwise the macaroni is mush before the legumes are done.
