Mix the Hamburger and the Macaroni together in the pan you boiled the Macaroni. Now pour in the tomato juice until you get the soup to your desired thickness, and bring it to a boil.

The Macaroni will sock up some of the tomato juice so you may need to add more to it later.

We always top the soup with a little shredded cheese. Our kids love this fast and easy soup. Let me know in the comments below how you like it. It really cant get much easier than this.
