Really Easy, Makes You Feel Good, Vegetable Soup

"My mother got this recipe at a Weight Watchers meeting about 15 years ago. I have never been able to find the recipe anywhere since. This recipe is fast, versatile, and my husband loves it. Add any frozen vegetables you like. It makes a large batch, so I always have leftovers to freeze. Please don't let the ranch scare you off, it give the stock a really nice flavor. Have fun playing with this recipe by varying the veggies, adding meats, or even grains like barley."

  1. This was a nice recipe except I couldn't get the V8 image out of my head. The hidden valley did a lot to tone it down but it was still there. I'm a huge V8 drinker, so maybe that's why. I did like the recipe, though. My hubby liked it too. Next time I will use fresh veggies.
     
  2. WHOA! I never expected this to so wonderful! I used Whole Foods veggie juice, egulr dices tomatoes and instead of frozwn veggies I put fresh thinly sliced carrots, kale, spinach, and red cabbage. I added a can of green beans, too. SO GOOD!!!! I love this soup. A new favorite!!
     
  3. This soup was great! I used 2 onions,2 bags of veggies and left out the salt and pepper. Thought that I would let everyone s&p themselves.It was real spicy so I think that next time I will use regular diced tomatoes. Oh,and there will be a "next time"! Thanks for posting!!
     
  4. I loved using the V-8 juice - it made the soup very tasty. I did not have frozen veggies so I used 2 cans of mixed veggies. Will definitely be making this again.
     
  5. I found this to be a little spicy, but that is a good thing. Garlic powder was substituted for the prepared garlic since I was out of it. I also used a whole 2 pound bag of frozen vegetables. 2-3 cups did not look like enough.
