Using a skillet, on medium-high heat, brown ground beef; drain.
Place beef and potatoes in large crock pot.
Add all cans of vegetables, can of tomato soup and diced tomatoes.
Add salt and pepper, to taste.
Finally, add the secret ingredient that sets this apart from your average soup - the granulated sugar.
Mix together well and cook, on low, for 2 to 3 hours.
Notes
You can substitute fresh or frozen veggies but add a can or two of beef stock to this recipe; no need to add this if using canned veggies, as you will be adding the cans undrained which provides both liquid and flavor.
