1 pound ground beef
1 c. chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced

2 c. beef broth (use a can, or use 2 c. water with 2 bouillon cubes)
2 c. water
1 tsp. dried oregano

1/2 tsp. pepper
1 1/2 c. frozen mixed vegetables
5 Tblsp. alphabet macaroni
Parsley if desired

In a soup pot, cook the first 3 ingredients together over medium heat for 5 to 8 minutes, stirring often, until the beef is browned well and the onion is tender. Drain off any fat.
Add the tomatoes, beef broth, water, and seasonings. Simmer, partially covered, for 10 minutes. Add the vegetables and the pasta. Cook uncovered over medium heat for 10-12 minutes or until the pasta is cooked the way you like it. Stir in some chopped parsley if you like. Yield : 4 servings.

This homemade alphabet soup is delicious and so easy. It really hits the spot on a cold evening, and also makes a great lunch.
