This soup is souper easy (haha! I know... I'm a dork!), and gets a huge kick of flavor and nutrients from the 'secret' ingredient... V8 juice! If you've never tried V8 before, it taste like... well, soup! Any variety will work. I buy regular flavor in the large cans, because it's usually cheaper... but if the bottles are on sale, Spicy Hot is my favorite!!
