A friend gave me the idea to use V8 juice in soup recipes because it provides more flavor. This soup is great to make on a crisp autumn afternoon.
Ingredients:
8 medium carrots, sliced
2 large onions, chopped
4 celery ribs, chopped
1 large green pepper, seeded and chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
4 cups water
1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
2 cups v8 juice
2 cups chopped cabbage
2 cups frozen cut green beans
2 cups frozen peas
1 cup frozen corn
1 can (15 ounces) garbanzo beans or chickpeas, rinsed and drained
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
1-1/2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Directions:
1. In a Dutch oven, saute the carrots, onions, celery and green pepper in oil until crisp-tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil.
2. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1 to 1-1/2 hours or until vegetables are tender. Discard bay leaf. Yield: 14-16 servings (4 quarts).
