ISO : Carrot Chowder Recipe

[CindySoCal]

Hi,
I had a recipe for "carrot chowder" and I lost it :( It's one of DH's favorite....it's made with v-8, shredded carrots, and ground beef....I don't like cooked carrots but this chowder is WONDERFUL......does anyone have it??
TIA-:)

I found a couple both call for tomato juice but I'm sure subbing V8 wouldn't be a problem.

Melanie Zimmerman's award-winning recipe

1 pound ground beef
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup diced celery, packed
1/2 cup diced green peppers, packed
1/2 cup diced onions, packed
2 1/2 cups coarsely grated carrots, packed
4 cups tomato juice
1 1/2 cups water
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt or 3 cloves fresh minced garlic and 1/4 tsp salt
1/4 teaspoon ground marjoram
2 10 3/4-ounce cans cream of celery soup or 2 1/2 cups Cream of Celery Concentrate

Brown beef and discard fat. Add the salt and pepper as you brown the meat. Add celery, peppers and onions. If you don't pack the vegetables in the cup the soup will be a lot thinner. Simmer 5 minutes and then add carrots and simmer additional 5 minutes to let meat flavor be absorbed by the vegetables. Add tomato juice, cream of celery soup, water, sugar, garlic salt, and marjoram. The marjoram is absolutely necessary for the "winning" flavor. Bring to a boil and turn down the heat to a simmer. Simmer at least 30 minutes at the very least. I often put it in a crock pot on simmer several hours. It is even better the next day. Freezes well or stores several days in fridge. I usually triple recipe.

That's it!!!!!!!!!!!
The first one is the recipe I had...It's very good, and I'm sure you can make it with ground turkey if you wanted to to make it healthier...
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Or I should say my DH thanks you! :) :) :)
