This was so yummy! Substitutions I used: Ground Turkey instead of Beef (as I don't eat much beef). Fire roasted diced tomatoes instead of plum tomatoes. Left out the black-eyed peas, onion, zucchini and turnip because I ran out of room in my pot! I used balsamic vinegar instead of worcestershire and seafood cocktail sauce. I used Daikon tops instead of cabbage. Even with all of these changes... what a great base recipe to start from! LOVED IT! Thank you :)

Good Soup Bev! Made the recipe "as is" but used beef broth instead of water. It was very tasty and we enjoyed the flavor. The cocktail sauce adds some great flavor and it is hard to distinguish what the flavor is you are tasting in the soup unless you are the one who prepared it. When we had some leftovers we added some more horseradish right to our bowl of soup and I think that addition even takes it up a notch.
