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.

Absolutely fabulous. I too used V-8. Easy, quick, delicious. I made it on Saturday and just finished it on Monday, eating it for lunch and dinner. Thanks for the recipe and the hints!

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!

This was very easy to make! I love those recipes you just dump together and serve.

Needed salt and pepper. Also added hot sauce to mine

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!

I used this easy and very yummy recipe when my mom was going through chemotherapy. She LOVED IT, and my dad did too! This is soooo good and soooo easy - I will be hard pressed to have canned tomato soup ever again!

This soup has the best taste I think it's the ginger. So easy to make I will use it over and over. I love it.

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!!

I really like this soup. I only had 30oz. tomato juice, so I used chicken broth to make up the difference. I also only used one big potatoe and that was plenty. I will be making this soup again.

This is definitely my kind of recipe. It couldn't be easier to make and it's delicious. I didn't change a thing but it's one of those recipes that is so adaptable that you could add other veggies, rice or macaroni. I love soup and I'll be making this one again and again. Thanks!

Good basic flavors. I added more seasoning because it was a bit bland. I added garlic, basil, thyme, and marjoram.

Very very good. And so easy to make.

Loved this simple soup! I also used V8 juice, and added a small can of green peas, plus a bay leaf. Adding a small can of creamed corn, near the end of cooking time, will give vegetable soup a silky texture. Just be careful not to leave it on the burner too long afterward without stirring, or it can scortch.

I will definely be making this. I found a gold mine recipe on a Barley box that is similar to this. It has water and beef stock or cubes instead of the tomato juice but calls for 1/2 cup of barley. I had never used barley but it sure makes the soup filling.
