You can make a lot at one time and place in freezer for another dinner or too just double up on the receipe.
1lb ground meat or turkey (healthier)

1 can of tomato sauce
1 cup of water
1/2 box of elbow pasta...cook separate, then add to soup
1 pinch of salt
1 pinch of pepper
1 can of light canned kidney beans
cook meat thoughly separate and drain.
diced tomatoes and sauce, water, salt, pepper, kidney beans, and bulions are placed in a large pot and heated to a boil then placed on simmer for 15 mins.
add meat and veggies to soup and simmer for another 10-15 mins.
add pre-cooked pasta to soup

I rarely use a recipe for soup.
I usually make it with leftovers if we have beef. Add any drippings or gravey add water, carrots, onion, potatoes/noodles any other leftover veggie you like.

Answer:
I have an easy vegetable beef soup that I love. It's really easy.
Just take 1 can V8 juice (can use the spicey kind if you're adventursome) and dump in one pound of stew meat and a whole onion. Simmer a few hours. Then you can remove the onion and dump in a couple of diced potatoes and carrots. Simmer another few hours. Then dump in a can of peas, a can of whole kernel corn, and a can of green beans...liquids included. Simmer another hour or so. Then you CAN dice up about a quarter of a head of cabbage and simmer another little bit. I love cabbage in veg. soup, but if your family doesn't like cabbage you can leave it out.
You can play with the times and combos some. Sometimes if I don't have fresh potatoes, I've substituted canned round potatoes, or I'll use different veggies if I don't have those. The whole thing from start to finish on the stove is about 4 hours, but the longer it's cooked, the better. It's really better the second day. I've also done it in the crock pot. HTH
