My nutritionist told me how to make this years ago. I love it. I usually use ground beef, but sometimes put chicken in it. I start with frozen mixed veggies and add various things depending on what is available. Potatoes, onions, garlic, black eyed peas, field peas, lima beans, butter beans...whatever you like can be thrown in this soup. I like my soup thick, so I cover it with vegetable juice and sometimes add a little water. I'm not much on veggies, but love this.

This is pretty much what a nutritionist told me about many years ago. I sometimes use chicken, instead of ground beef, or it can be just vegetables. I generally use mixed veggies and add whatever I want...potatoes, onions, black eyed peas, lima beans, minced garlic...whatever! Cover with the vegetable juice and season how you like it. This is as good as you wanna make it. Just put the stuff YOU like in it. Delicious.

This is basically the same as the way I make vegetable and beef soup. Using the vegetable juice was recommended to me by a nutritionist years ago. You can use any combination of veggies that you want, cover it with the juice and you have a great soup. I usually use frozen mixed veggies, add potatoes, onions, garlic, sometimes cans of black eyed peas, white acre field peas, butter beans, or just about anything you might have in the pantry. I generally just cook up some ground beef, or some chicken to add to it. Season it the way you like it. Yum :)
