Spanish Noodles

1 lb ground beef, 1 cup chopped onion, 1 tsp minced garlic, 1 and 1/2 cup macaroni noodles, 1 cup frozen peas, 1 cup frozen corn, 1 pint tomato juice, 1 to 2 cups stock, 1 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp dried cilantro, salt and pepper to taste. May need to add more liquid to get to desired thickness. I usually add about 2 cups water.

This is a very good soup. When Jessica was a child, this was one of her favorite soups. I have changed it just a little bit. The original recipe did not call for corn.
