The store bought V-8 does indeed have 8, tomatoes, carrots, celery, beets, parsley, lettuce, watercress and spinach. However, you should be able to get the same taste without all of them. Watercress and lettuce have very little flavor, so I doubt you'll notice they are missing, or add them if you're that adamant about having 8. The original has beets, but a very, very small amount. I suppose you could add it and maybe leave out the horseradish to compensate, not sure. Spinach also is in very small amounts for the original. You can adjust recipe as preferred or depending on what you have on hand. Experiment, taste, and tweak to your personal preference. If you want it to be the EXACT same as the original, go to the store and buy it from Campbell's soup company. If you want to make your own, this recipe is a the very least a great place to start. Thanks for sharing it Dib's!
