Hearty Bean & Pasta soup

[HarleyMom]

I love this time of year, and now that the cooler weather is here, it's time to break out those cozy blankets and snuggle up in your favorite chair with what I call my favorite comfort food, nothing better then a good and hearty bowl of soup to warm you. My sister in-law gave me this recipe in a gift basket along with all the ingredients last year and it's been a favorite ever since.

<CENTER>Bean and Pasta Soup</CENTER>1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef

6 cups beef broth

1 (11.5-ounce) can vegetable juice

1 (28-ounce) can whole tomatoes, undrained

1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste

1 (15-ounce) can navy beans, drained

1/4 cup lemon juice
