This is just packed with vegetables. It's very tasty. I replaced the water with beef broth to make it even richer. We had it for lunch 2 days in a row. I think it was even better the second day. You can't beat this if you're looking for a good low calorie meal.

I made this soup last night and while it was good I thought it was a little bland. I only had a 46 oz bottle of V8 so i added another cup of water and i ended up adding about 5 teaspoons of beef base. Instead of the frozen veg I used a small can of green beans and added some chopped celery and green pepper. I also added some garlic powder and worcestershire sauce. After the changes we all really liked it. Thanks for posting!

Good and easy to make. I followed the recipe other then I used canned diced potatoes, and a can of carrots, green beans and two cans of corn. I also used beef broth instead of water. We all enjoyed this.
