This recipe has been in our family for years, my dad and grandmother made it all the time...I grew up on this one and now I make it. Really like a veg soup with a twist. It's espcially good with a big loaf of crusty bread! Just tear off a chunk and dip in the soup...mmmmmmm!!!
I sometimes use the spicy variety of v-8 juice for a little extra flavor!

How to Make CELERY SOUP
- Put roast in large stockpot; add celery/leaves and onions to pot. When tender, remove beef and let cool until you can shred it with fingers; discard any fat. In meantime, combine ground chuck, egg, bread crumbs, garlic powder and instant minced onion flakes in large bowl; combine well and make into meatballs about 1" diameter. Cook on rack in baking pan for about 30 minutes @ 350F; With slotted spoon, add to broth with shredded beef, onions & celery. (can make meatballs ahead of time & keep in freezer, then add while frozen!)
- Add V-8 juice and can of beef broth; season with salt and pepper to your taste. Simmer, covered, for about 1-1/2 to 2 hrs. Serve with loaf of crusty bread or crackers.
