1 (64 ounce) bottle v8 vegetable juice

1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes with basil and garlic

1 (2 3/4 ounce) package onion soup mix

1 (20 ounce) bag frozen mixed vegetables (any kind)

8 ounces uncooked orzo pasta (i used 1/2 the box)

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon dry basil

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (not salt)

2 cups of left over cooked beef or 2 cups cooked chicken, if you would prefer meat in your soup

Directions:

1. Dump everything in soup pot or crock pot.
2. Simmer on stove until pasta and veggies are cooked.
3. For crock pot cover and cook on low 5-7 hours.
4. Server with a nice bread and or a salad.
