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.

Excellent veggie soup! I used a few more pinches of oregano; cayenne pepper for kick; and lawry's instead of salt. Also used the frozen corn with peppers and onions. Zucchini, broccoli, mixed veggies, and sprinkled in some chopped spinach. Best friend loved it, but he's a "Mikey." My wife, much pickier, also loved it...and she only eats chicken noodle.

Very easy,Great base for a good veggie soup.After tasting the recipe as is(except i used fresh veggies) i then made the fallowing changes for our taste's.I added 1 small onion,1 Tbls minced garlic,basil,2 celery stalk's & about 1 1/2 tsp Oregano(total),1 tsp beef soup base, 1/2 tsp celery seed, 2Tbls small ring pasta.1/4 tsp pepper flakes & 1/2 Cup water...because the pasta & fresh veggies soaked up some of the liquid.It was very tasty on a cold rainy Autumn day & with 2 sick kid's at home today it settled in their tummies very nicely :)I will be making this again, Thanks!

This was a really easy and tasty recipe. I substituted spicy bloody mary mix and added 1/2 cup of grated parmesan. Was delicious.

I thought this was a good basic soup. My husband saif it was "decent." I used Italin seasoning instead of the oregano. I think next time I make it I will try adding some of the modifications the other reviewers suggested.

I changed this up quite a bit but the end result was great. Added a little onion, some celery and about 3 red potatoes and a can of chickpeas because the hubby loves them. Also used italian seasoning, garlic powder, seasoning salt and a veggie bouillon cube. We thought it was the perfect veggie soup with these modifications and so easy even with the extra chopping!
