V-8 Soup

"15 minutes to the table! Vary taste by what you have on hand. Many "cream of" soups will do: celery, mushroom, chicken with herbs. Also, veggies can be Pasta Accents (with noodles), leftovers or canned...whatever. Also, pass hot sauce for the adults and add whatever spices you like (basil, oregano, parsley, salt...) Although it really doesn't need any! I just made this tonight and we all had three helpings (including my toddler)!"

  1. Just so great, bravo! This is a fun, great, slurpy, good, fill you up, soup! We loved it! I didn't have any frozen veggies, so I used fresh lima beans, fresh cut potato, and fresh carrots, that I microwaved to cook, and then added them right into the soup just as the beef was done cooking. Might add some fresh tomato next time! Made for PICK A CHEF Fall 2012
     
  2. This is a very good and versitale recipe. I made this for myself and I added a little garlic powder and some parsley flakes. Quick and easy with a nice flavor. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
     
  3. Made this for myself & 1 year old. Makes a ton! Used V-8 w/ Lemon and without any extra spices, soup was good. Added ranch dressing and it became great! (I'm a ranch dressing freak!)

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I love food! I believe naming your recipe is just as important as the ingredients. If it sounds good, the kids will have a positive attitude towards it, before they even take a bite. I'm a stay at home mom of three (twins almost 16 years old and an 8-year old). I'd rather cook than clean. I spend hours pouring over my cookbook collection and even more time with my cooking magazines, cutting and pasting recipes into my own binders. If I had a month off, I'd take my family to Florida and Mexico. We'd sit on the beaches and eat fresh seafood forever! And of course, DH and I would enjoy endless Coronas and Tequila Sunrises while our very competant nanny watches the kids.
