SOUPS - Hamburger Vegetable Soup

2# ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup diced peeled potatoes
1 cup shredded cabbage
2 cans stewed tomatoes, "Italian"
1/4 cup uncooked long grain rice
V8 Juice, 12 oz - add water to make 3 cups
1 cup sliced carrots

In large soup kettle, brown beef with onion. Drain fat. Add remaining ingredients and bring to boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

Note:  I usually add more potatoes and carrots until it looks good.  This recipe was tweaked by my husband, Dave. It was a favorite for a carry-in potluck at work.
