Soup #3 - Vegetable Beef

So my third soup is not a new one, but it's a good one.  Now that the weather is turning a little colder, making soup will be so much more fun.  The bread might be harder -- not that it won't be fun to make, but I'm trying to lose weight, or at least not gain it ...

Ingredients:

1 lb. Ground Beef 
1 c. chopped onion 
2 T Margarine 
4 c. HOT water 
1 - 28 oz. can tomatoes 
1 c. sliced celery 
1 T salt
2 beef bouillon cubes 
1/2 bay leaf 
1/2 t Worcestershire sauce 
1/8 t. pepper 
1 - 10 oz. pkg. Mixed vegetables 
1 c. egg noodles (wide) 
1/2 t thyme

Brown ground beef, with onion and margarine. Add all other ingredients except mixed vegetables, egg noodles & thyme. Cook for 40 minutes over medium heat. Add vegetables, noodles & thyme. Cook until vegetables and noodles are done.
