Spaghetti Soup

This is a soup that is TRULY comfort food for me. My grandmother made this at least once a week when she was living. She just called it spaghetti, but I have since come to think of it as "soup" since it is not served in the traditional Italian way of sauce over the top of cooked noodles.

Cast of Characters:

1 - 1.5 pounds of bround beef
1 medium onion
1 can of tomato juic
1 box of low sodium beef broth
1 small box of THIN spaghetti noodles

Brown the ground beef and add the onion, cook until the onion is transluscent. Drain. Return to the pot add tomato juice and broth. Bring to a boil and add 3/4 of the box of noodles broken into thirds. Stir this until the noodles start to get limp to make sure the noodles do not stick together. Cook simmer until the noodles are "al dente", serv hot with garlic bread and a side salad.
