Ingredients
Large can (32 oz) tomato juice
2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
2 carrots diced
1 can green beans
1 can corn
1 cup uncooked pasta noodles (I like to use penne or ziti)
Salt & pepper to taste
*Note: A package of frozen mixed vegetables or canned mixed vegetables
could be substituted, instead of fresh ingredients. I’ve also added
ground beef to this recipe before to make vegetable beef soup.
Directions
In a large pot over medium heat, mix all vegetables with tomato juice,
cover and allow to simmer for 30 minutes or until vegetables are
softened. Add pasta to mixture and simmer for another 5 to 10 minutes,
until pasta is cooked. Add salt and pepper to taste. Allow to cool for a
few minutes.
Estimated cost $3.50
Serves 4.

This looks just YUMMY! I think I might try it with some stew meat or other chopped meat, since I already have a really good hamburger soup recipe. Thanks so much for sharing!
sounds like a great old fashioned meal to me
Thanks for posting my recipe Erin! I’m glad I could share it with everyone.
These look like such great recipes. I can’t wait to try them when my daughter is home from university for the holidays! Thanks for sharing them!
We made this recipe about a week before Christmas and everybody loved it! So easy that you really might as well make this instead of opening a can of soup and I feel this one is so much more healthy. Thanks for sharing this recipe – it’ll be a new staple at our house!
I’m imeprssed. You’ve really raised the bar with that.
