QUICK VEGETABLE SOUP 
1 to 2 lg. cans V-8 juice
2 lbs. lean hamburger
1 can okra, drained
1 can white corn, drained
2 (32 oz.) cans mixed vegetables or lg. bag of frozen vegetables
2 to 3 stalks celery, chopped
1 to 2 cans stewed tomatoes
3 tbsp. chopped cilantro
Garlic powder to taste
Ground pepper to taste

Brown meat, drain. Add V-8 juice and all other ingredients. Simmer at least 30 minutes, longer if possible. Serve with flour tortillas filled with low fat Mozzarella cheese and zapped in microwave until cheese has melted. Great on cold days!

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
