This was really good. I did do as many others did and used V8 for more flavor. Hubs loved it!

We made this recipe in my pre-k class for a unit on friendship. I called it friendship soup and each child brought in an ingredient. It was a cinch to make and very tasty. Out of the 11 kid only one would not try it. The 10 kids who did loved it with several asking for seconds. The only changes I made was I used V8 juice in place of the tomato and added to cans of vegetable broth. We did not season with salt, pepper and ginger as the V8 gave it a lot of flavor. I am making it tonight for my family.

This was mostly helpful for the basic idea of using up leftover tomato juice as a soup base (found using the ingredient search function). Worked out well. Used a bag of frozen veg in lieu of canned. Really thick - had to add auite a bit chicken broth to thin out. Barley is great in this, too.

This soup is very good. I have my own tomato soup that I make in the fall of the year and that makes it better than the store bought tomato soup. I will add this one to my recipe collection

This was a very good soup! My husband and I really enjoyed it but my kids (ages 5 and 8) wouldn't eat it. Not sure why. I don't usually make tomato based soups, but I'm glad I gave this a try. It's hearty and very flavorful. I made a few changes. I used V8 instead of tomato juice, as some other reviewers suggested. I also used fresh green beans, cut into small pieces, instead of canned and frozen corn instead of canned. Too make up for the lost liquid, I used one can of petite diced tomatoes with liquid and some chicken broth. I will make a couple changes next time I make this. I'll add some chopped zucchini just for more veggies and I'll cut down on the amount of V8 and cut it further with chicken broth. Thanks for the recipe!

Hubby said this was the best vegetable soup he has tasted! I just substituted a bag of frozen soup veggies instead of fresh veggies and added some garlic powder for flavor. Served it along with cornbread. The ginger gave it a slightly different flavor than we had tasted before (although I think added more ginger than it called for. I don't measure spices, I just dump some in).

Very good! Very healthy! I thought it could use about one more cup of tomato juice but all in all, very yummy. I used v-8 and fresh green beans. So easy to make too.

Excellent. The only change I made was to add celery and frozen zucchini and skip the corn. Will become a staple in our family menu.

I found this while looking for a way to use up some tomato juice I had in the fridge. This was super delicious and super easy to make. My 12 year old son made this soup, with a little help from me. Even my husband, who doesn't like tomato based things, liked it enough to have seconds. My only modification was to add a can of chopped tomatoes because I didn't have a full 64 ounces of tomato juice. We will make this often.

WOW!! What a YUMMY soup!!! While not strictly vegetarian, the ground beef gave it a lot of body. Instead of tomato juice, I used vegetable juice, which gave it a really good flavor. I also cut the kernels off two fresh ears of corn and sauteed the onions after browning the beef and before adding the other vegs. Also, halfway through simmering I added 2 cups of veggie broth because the soup was getting very thick. I omitted the salt and pepper too, and didn't miss it. All in all, easy and delicious . . . Thanks!

EAsy recipe, still recovering from a cold and had lots of veggies to use. I also used a 46 oz jar of low sodium v8. Added some italian seasonings, cayenne pepper (trying to kick this sore throat), and various veggies that included mushrooms, canned green beans, edamame, canned corn, carrots, onions, celery, zucchini and some red peppers. I also had to thin it out a bit with a can of veggie broth. YUM. It made a lot of soup, but thank goodness it's not too hot yet to still eat it. FYI--cayenne pepper was only a pinch, it adds a kick to it but helps cures sore throats!

This is a great, easy soup. We try to eat healthy, so I substituted the ground beef with lean ground turkey. I followed the suggestions of others and used V8 instead of regular tomato juice. I also added some chopped fresh parsley, garlic, marjoram, celery salt, and basil. Delicious!!
