     A lot better than I expected it! You can add whatever leftover veggies you have.: threw in some green pepper & green onions, used veggie broth instead of chicken, used White beans instead of red kidney beans. I just think it may have needed a little more spice, so I'll kick it up a notch! - 1/18/10

     Just finished making this soup - it was SUPER easy and I love that you can just throw anything in - i love spicy so I added some hot peppers and banana peppers as well!!! I have tried a couple of spoonfuls and its awesome! Doing a detox and this works perfect for it! - 9/13/10

     I didn't have red beans or spinach or V8 juice but used the rest of ingredients and it tasted great. The flavor of the vegetables was excellent. My husband said it was the best veg soup I have made. - 7/14/08

     From experience, the V8 juice is the taste secret. I added canned Canellni beans, made a fiber filled soup.Next time I will add some Campbell's Minestrone soup to the pot. Thanks. - 7/25/08

     This was amazingly good. I also added green onions, red beans and garbanzo beans. It's a great recipe to have close at hand for those who find it hard to get their veggies in!! - 8/14/17

     it has a little too much sodium, though a lot less then other soup recipes in the "12 Healthy Soup Recipes for Fall and Winter" list. does this work with frozen beans? - 1/4/16
