5 cups of water

1 can of diced tomatoes

First, cook the ground meat or turkey until it is fully cooked but not overcooked. Once done, drain any excess grease from the pan. To make your soup, start by adding five cups of water to a soup pot and stirring in the onion soup mix. Heat the mixture until it's warm. Then, add your ground beef and the bag of mixed vegetables. Add in the diced tomatoes and let everything simmer until hot. While the soup is cooking, prepare your macaroni by following the instructions on the box. You can use the whole box or just one cup, depending on how much you want to eat.

Add the pasta to your bowl and cover with your vegetable soup. Enjoy!
