A friend gave me the idea to use V8 juice in soup recipes because it provides more flavor. This soup is great to make on a crisp autumn afternoon.

I was looking around the Internet for a good vegetable soup recipe and came across this one. It caught my attention because of the V8 juice ingredient. I just finished making it, and substituted chicken broth for the water and chicken bouillon. It is very tasty, just like I anticipated. It looks beautiful too, with all the colorful veggies in it. I will make this recipe again!

Just simply YUM!

I used all can veges. because that's what I had on hand. I also changed up the beans and used kidney and black because I hate the other ones that was suggested. My house smells so good. Well gotta go and enjoy the wonderful fulfilling soup, well right after my mini corn muffins finish baking.

I am writing this even before the soup is finished simmering because it was just that good. The only change I made was to substitute oregano for the marjoram (no majoram on hand). Oh, also, my husband forgot to get a green bell pepper. But I'm actually glad he forgot, because the flavor is perfect without it and I don't imagine it would taste better with it.

So easy, so delicious. Thank you very much for posting this recipe.

This was INCREDIBLE! I was actually done in 2 hours, but I let had it on warm all day. It was even better reheated after vacuum sealing it. I am Vegan, so I used all Cascadia Farms Organic frozen Vegetables and 2 Rapunzel Vegan Vegetable Bouillon Cubes in the 4 cups of water, replacing the chicken bouillon. Thanks so much for this GREAT recipe!
