Instructions: * May substitute 1 teaspoon onion paste for the chopped onion, if desired. This comes in a tube like anchovy paste, is really quick to use and eliminates the need to have students chopping with sharp knives.

Cook ground beef and onion over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until beef is no longer pink; about 6-10 minutes. Drain off any fat. (I have my students dump it into a colander then back into the pan because they cant drain it effectively otherwise) Stir in seasoning mix and continue cooking for 1 minute. Stir in tomato juice. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally until heated through - about 5 minutes. To serve, ladle soup into bowls.

Each individual can then add additional toppings.
