I make mine VERY similar to this. I don't use v8, and I use garlic or garlic salt as a substitute to the onion flavor. DE-LISH! Me and my vegetarian fiance enjoy it with an avocado and a few tortilla chips dipped in when it's served...yum! :) - 8/26/11

Thank you for posting! I also include white hominy to the dump. If you care to reduce sodium puree 2-4 ripe tomatoes with 1 large onion to use in lieue of canned tomatoes the freshess will be a tastey treat! - 9/8/10
