Easy Beef Vegetable Soup

1 lb. ground beef
4 c. water
2 (16 oz.) cans stewed tomatoes (can be pureed in food processor)
2 (8 oz.) cans tomato sauce
20 oz. pkg. frozen mixed vegetables
1 envelope dry onion soup mix
1 tsp. sugar

Brown beef; drain off fat. Stir in 4 cups water, stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce, mixed vegetables, soup mix and sugar. Bring to boil, then reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.

When we makes this, we often adds yellow and green zucchini slices with the other vegetables. Also, beans or cooked macaroni can be added to make an even more hearty soup.
