    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

    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

    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 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

    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

    Many ways to make this you own. I used vegetable stock, no bouillion. Did not add salt, added garlic powder. - 11/29/19

    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

    I really like this. For someone who can't even make oatmeal, it was super easy. I didn';t add the salt but added some corn too. Thanks for the recipe! - 2/16/11

    This was delicious! It needed a bit more liquid so I added 2 cups of water and 1 can of vegetable broth. I also added 1 tsp of crushed red pepper which gives it a nice kick! Will definitely make this again but will not use the beef bouillon when my daughter is home as she is vegetarian. - 10/10/10

    My mom used to make something basically like this but she'd save the veggie and beef scraps from previous meals (we called it Leftover Soup) - very yummy though!! - 8/29/10

    It's all good,, Will just tweak it a bit more for my taste... While leaving out the extra textured protein & all that salt

    Made this soup today. It is fabulous. Had a little trouble tracking down the textured vegetable protein. Finally found it at a health food store. I bought beef stock instead of doing the bouillon cubes. I made enough to freeze some for another day. Thanks - 1/16/10

    Thinking of replacing the boullion with low sodium chicken broth. Of course it would no longer be vegetarian. - 2/21/09

    Wonderful, wonderful soup that fits into a busy lifestyle. The vegetable variations that can be added are endless. I'll add a touch of olive oil too for good measure. - 2/21/09

    How much is a serving? Half a cup? One cup? I suggest adding chopped cabbage. It adds a bit of sweetness to the soup without a lot of added calories. - 2/21/09

    I agree about the sodium being high. Also, I agree that a true 'vegetable' soup doesn't contain beef broth. But, I suspect that the beef broth and the canned tomatoes account for much of the sodium. Will subsitutue sodium free veg. broth and tomatoes. And, I LOVE potatoes in soup. LoL - 2/21/09

    sodium is a little high per serving. I might tweak it a bit. Thanks for the idea! - 2/21/09

    I have never heard of putting potatoes in soup, But I see it more lately, i will give it a try, Is'nt it alot of starch with other veggies - 2/21/09
