This recipe is great for those very cold winter days or just when you feel like eating soup. I usually serve this with hot garlic bread or hot crusty French bread. &mdashKelly Milan, Lake Jackson, Texas

Storing Pasta

I store all my pastas in canning jars rather than the opened boxes. The pasta stays fresher, and the jars stack nicely, too, conserving pantry space. When I’m preparing my grocery list, I can see what I need at a glance. —Laurie S., Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

Actually I would leave out the potatoes rather than the pasta as another reviewer mentioned, but thought this was DELICIOUS. I actually browned the beef but then threw all other ingredients in the crock pot (except pasta which I added about an hour before we ate.) Tasty, hearty, just the right amount of spice. Delicious and will be a keeper!

But I wouldn't make it exactly as written! I added beef bouillon granules, chili flakes instead of jalapenos, and onion salt. I also omitted the pasta because with corn and potatoes, I thought it was starchy enough. My husband loved it!! Why isn't there any salt in the recipe?

I didn't care for V-8 but I had some Bloody Mary Mix in the frig. I left out the jalapenos and this has become a staple in our house. Love it ! Thanks

Absolutely, my son got this receipe years ago in grade school, they called it "Love Soup" & when the weather turns cold we have it all the time, its FANTASTIC!

Very good...everyone in the family (including kids) liked it! I did not put jalapenos in it, and didn't have any celery so threw in a couple extra potatoes - yummy!

Great, great soup with just the right amount of zest to it. I'm not so sure about the 30 prep/cook time though...seems like it took me twice as long at least but still very easy to prepare.
