Spicy Beef (or Turkey) and Vegetable Soup

{via}

This is a Fall/Winter staple at our house! It's reposted from my old recipe blog. I highly recommend trying it!

1 lb ground beef (I am using ground turkey this time)

4 stalks celery, sliced

2 cloves crushed garlic

1 medium onion, chopped

1 26 oz jar spaghetti sauce

1 can beef broth, undiluted

2 c water

1 t sugar

1 t salt

1/2 t ground black pepper

16 oz frozen mixed vegetables

1 10 oz can diced tomatoes and green chilies (like Rotel)

Cook ground beef, celery, garlic and onion in a Dutch oven over medium heat until meat is crumbled and no longer pink. Drain. Stir in spaghetti sauce, beef broth, water, sugar, salt and pepper into the beef mixture; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add mixed vegetables and diced tomatoes and chilies; return to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for another 15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Stir occasionally. Great served with sharp cheddar and garlic bread!
