I enjoyed this recipe, but next time I will use just oregano and basil, garlic, etc. for the Italian seasoning. The bottle of commercially prepared Italian seas. had way too much thyme, and it's kind of dominating the flavor. Right now it tastes more like beef stew than soup! My fault. I should have known. I will make this again with the changes above. I am going to make beer bread to go with it.

Delicious soup! I made this as directed and used V8 for the vegetable juice. After pureeing I had a beautiful red soup that tasted delicious! Is pureed with my hand blender which may have gotten more air in the soup than normal. No biggie but if I had let it sit for a bit it would have settled into a richer color bc the air would have dissipated more. Thank you for a fantastic soup JB! *Made for veggie tag*
