Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Saute beef in large pot until beef starts to brown.

2. 2

   Drain grease and add onions, carrots, tomatoes,garlic, and celery and simmer for about 10 minutes.

3. 3

   Add rest of ingredients, (not the pasta) and simmer for 1 hour; season to taste.

4. 4

   About 50 min into simmer, add uncooked pasta.

5. 5

   While pasta cooks in the soup may need to add more v-8 as the pasta soaks up the liquid. I add another 6 oz can of V-8 while the pasta cooks.
