Carrot Chowder

This is one of my favorite meals. My dear friend Suzi gave me this recipe and I love it! My kids will eat it, but they don't appreciate it. I savor every bite!

Saute:
1 lb ground beef
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 C chopped celery
1/2 C chopped onions
1/2 C chopped bell pepper

Add:

4 C tomato juice
1 1/2 C water
1/2 tsp pepper
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp marjorum
2 1/2 C grated carrots

2 cans cream of celery soup

Bring to a boil, then simmer until carrots are tender (or cook in crock pot 4 hours). Add soup; heat, but do not boil- may curdle.

Place cubed cheddar cheese in bowls, then add hot chowder. Serve with whole wheat Ritz crackers.
