I added 2C water to make it a little more brothy. I also eliminated the pasta/barley and used 2 1lb bags of frozen mixed vegetables. Added a bit or basil and oregano, just on a whim. Tasted great with some delicious crusty bread!

I've made this 4 times now. This is the best Vegetable Soup ever. I make fresh bread each time I make the Soup. I use 4 cans on chicken stock is my only change to the recipe.

This soup is way better than any vegetable soup I've had. It didn't blow me away but it was incredibly easy to make.

I liked this a lot. Super simple. A good way to eat healthy and clean out your pantry. I played with the recipe as did others, putting in what I liked and had. Topped it off with fresh grated parm and am eating it as I write this. Thank you.

True to everyone else who reviewed this, I made a few changes. I used spicy v-8 (soup was not spicy at all, even with the addition), 3 cups of precooked barley, a little more pasta--not much, a bag of frozen country vegetables, frozen peas, fresh steamed carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower, and a package of frozen spinach. It is much thicker than regular vegetable soup and absolutely wonderful!!

I'm giving this soup an average rating because, while it was alright, I've had better vegetable soups. I did substitute frozen vegetables for the canned ones called for.

Yummm... My favorite part about this soup is it's flexability; you can add and take away according to your preferences or what's in the cupboard. I triple the fresh veggies and omit the frozen/canned ones. All five of my kids love it (with crackers and a little shredded cheddar) - and that's hard to pull off. Not to mention that the leftovers are divine, so make sure that you make some for tomorrow's lunch as well!

This is rather "tomatoey" but still very good. Needs some work in the spice department though. It was kinda bland, even though I used spicy V-8. I would make it again.

This soup is great, but I made a few changes. I omitted the barley and doubled the pasta and used frozen mixed veggies in place of the canned ones. Everybody loved it.

Great recipe! I added sliced mini carrots, 1 clove minced garlic. I also used a little over a cup of Bob's Vegetable Soup mix, a dried soup containing the alpha pasta, barley, and assorted dried beans. Cook time for Vege II and Bob's were approx the same. I still added frozen green beans and a can of corn, but had to add extra V-8 to thin to soup texture. Bob's thickened more than expected. Altogether an excellent soup. Next time I'll double recipe and put some in freezer in pint freezer bags for a quick soup for one or more people.

This soup is incredible, a real keeper. I used frozen vegetables instead of canned. I didn't have beef broth so only used chicken broth. Will definately make again. Thanks for the recipe.

I've made this recipe several times and I love it more each time I make it. The vegetables can be amended to whatever you have on hand. The broth is fantastic. Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful! I substituted potato for the barley and pasta, and added chopped up carrots. For the canned mixed veggies, I added one can of green beans. I also just threw in some chopped fresh basil I had around. This is a great, basic, if tomato-y vegetable soup.

So easy to make, yet it has the "all day simmering" taste. Healthy and delicious.

Tastes just like canned vegetable soup (which is great since I have a food intolerance to MSG, and really miss it). Some in our party thought it was "bland". But I don't care this gets 5 stars in my opinion!!

I am not a big fan of vegetable soup, usually I find it bland. I was wanting something besides chips to go with sandwiches. Not only was this soup easy, but it suprisingly tasted great!! Even my kids wanted more!! Thanks for a FIRST RATE RECIPE!!! I will definitely make again and probably won't tweak this one a bit.
