Love this, make it all the time! However, hubs and I don't drink V8 or anything, so we just subbed additionall tomato sauce for juice (so we don't have to worry about leftover, lol). Also, we use tabasco instead of apple cider vinegar to give it a little kick. - 6/4/13

You can lower the sodium by rinsing the beans, using the herbox beef broth and using no salt added tomatoes. I plan on making this over the weekend. - 1/14/10

This is AMAZING. I took out the celery just because I can't stand it, but I kept everything else the same. This is a must try! - 11/11/09

Cooked this tonight--loved it! Added 2T of low fat sour cream, 2tsp Parmesan cheese and green onions. The additions made it sinfully filling. Delicious! I have frozen some of it to have during the week. Recipe made exactly 15 1-cup servings! Goes great with Reduced Fat Pillsbury Grands. - 11/10/09
