This was good. I added ground beef and a little extra frozen mixed vegetables but still feel it could use something more.

This was a great recipe/base recipe. I added seasoning; more oregano, italian seasoning, garlic and some cayenne pepper. You can add any ingredient you wish to this recipe. I added celery and a can of beans I had on hand. We had it for dinner that night and left-overs the next day....it was even better the next day.

I was very wary of a recipe that started with tomato juice. I hate tomato juice....this was excellent soup. I made a huge pot for my staff at work...added dried basil, lightly sauteed onion, and par boiled potato. Every one said that it was the best soup of the day! Easy, yummy, and cheap to make! Thanks!

I make this soup a ton and my family loves it. It is never the same soup twice - I customized this by sauteeing onions, garlic, sweet peppers and celery (always onions and garlic but whatever else is available at the time) in EVOO. I also use the Asian mixed veggies as I am not a fan of carrots and peas and add these to the pot with the sauteed onions before adding the juice. I have added sausage to the sauteed onions, delish and I have sauteed the onions in some of the tomato juice instead of evoo to make it fat free. A great healthy starting point.

I added 2 packages of mixed veggies, and 2 pinches of oregano. I also added some whipping cream! (appx 1/4? of a cup). The family loved it!

Very easy! My Husband who has sworn off all veggies (except green beans) couldn't get enough of this! The neighborhood Loved it too! I did double it, and used one spicy V8, and one regular. I also added Canned diced potatoes, (and canned veggies too) and some tiny spiral noodles, onion, Celery seed, and a few of my fave spices. De-Lish!

This soup is very kid friendly. For adults, I'd add garlic and more spices.

Quick and easy. I added Knorr vegetable bullion to the water before adding it to the tomato juice. I also added hamburger meat and used canned vegetables instead of frozen. I used green beans, carrots, corn, potatoes, white kidney beans, and stewed tomatoes. Yum!

Great base recipe but needs more seasoning. I added extra oregano and salt based on earlier reviews but it still needed something... Also, I was about 1/2 cup short of tomato juice so I added a can of chicken stock (I needed more liquid) in addition to the water the recipe called for. I used a bag of frozen soup vegetables to have more vege variety and added thin egg noddles the last 5-8 minutes of cooking.
