    If it is a "vegetarian" dish there shouldn't be "beef boullion" in it.

    I would use a teaspoon of miso paste rather than the beef bullion, and not add salt. Looks good. - 2/21/09

    Absolutely Delicious! We were nervous about TVP to begin with since we had never had it before, but the soup was great. - 2/22/09

    Made this tonight for my family. Very tasty and satisfying. Made a few small changes to suit my family and to use up some leftovers. Will definitely use this recipe again as a base to start from. - 2/21/09

    This is so easy to make your own and use up vegetables that need using. - 2/21/09

    Sounds good but I'd leave out the vegetable protein. You don't need it beans are loaded with protein.:) I'd use vegetable broth. You don't need the hormones that come from the beef broth:) - 8/31/12

    Excellent, just add your own favorite herb mix, added frozen peas, and veggie bullion. yum - 5/6/11

    This is great, I made it once with the TVP, once without, it was good both ways. I added frozen peas (wasn't sure what the bag of frozen veggies was supposed to be), and added some red pepper flakes and used 1/2 veg. stock, 1/2 water (no bouillon). Great recipe and way to get your veggies! - 3/1/11

    I MADE THIS RECIPE LAST NIGHT AND HAD IT FOR SUPPER TODAY. I DIDN'T ADD THE PROTEIN BECAUSE I COULDN'T FIND IT AT ANY STORE. I ADDED POTATOES AND I FROZE THE REST FOR A COLD RAINY DAY. WHEN I RUN OUT I'LL MAKE IT AGAIN. IT WAS EASY TO MAKE AND VERY GOOD.... - 10/2/10

    I didn't add the veg. protein, just added some garlic & a few fresh herbs. Great soup, I'll make it again. - 5/31/10

    I found textured vegetable protein in the organic section of the grocery store. The brand is Bobs Red Mill. It looks like big bread crumbs. I am making this soup now. I hope it is as good as it sounds. - 2/22/09

    This is NOT a lot of sodium. If you are use to reading labesl then note many are in gm (grams); this one is miligrams(707mg = 0.7 gm) Now enjoy it! I will try it too! BTW: What is the frozen veggie?? Mixed??Spinach??Lima beans??Which vegetable is it? THANKS FOR SHARING THIS RECIPE;I'm making it soon - 2/21/09

    I MAKE THIS ALL THE TIME .I ADD SOME TURNIP. IT MAKES THE SOUP EVEN BETTER. THIS SOUP IS EVEN BETTER THE NEXT DAY. - 2/21/09
  • NJDIETZ
    Sounds like it would be a good starter, as you said, for many additional types of soups. Will definitly have to try this. - 2/21/09

    not every recipe that says vegetable is designed to be vegetarian... if you want to make it vegetarian on your own, do so but don't complain to the person who submitted the recipe for vegetable soup or casserole that it has ingredients in it not to your liking. I found this to be a very good base - 12/9/20

    too high in sodium - 9/9/20

    Make mine with stew beef since I don't eat a lot of beef on a regular basis. - 12/25/19

    Many ways to make this you own. I used vegetable stock, no bouillion. Did not add salt, added garlic powder. - 11/29/19
  • JAMER123
    It's like my vegetable beef barley soup I make in the slow cooker. Make enough to last about 3 days. Love it. To make it a true vegatarian soup, add vegetable broth in place of the water and leave out the bouillon cube. - 10/6/19
