In a separate bowl, dissolve the instant chicken or beef bouillon granules in hot water, ensuring itโs well mixed and strong. Then, add this mixture to the stockpot with the tomatoes.
-
This mixture forms the base of the soup. If you prefer a vegetarian option, omit the instant granules and add an extra can of tomato sauce.
-
Next, add all the other soup ingredients to the stockpot.
-
Bring the soup to a boil over medium-high heat.
-
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 1 hour, allowing all the flavors to meld together.
-
Optionally, you can add pre-cooked pasta or rice to the soup for added heartiness.
-
Taste the soup before adding any salt, as there may be enough sodium from the canned ingredients.
-
Remember, the quantities of ingredients can be adjusted according to your preferences. You can use more or fewer cans of veggies, or even use fresh veggies instead.
-
Keep the veggies chunky for a more visually appealing and hearty texture.
-
Leftover cooked veggies can also be added to the soup base, but be sure to only warm them through and not boil them again to prevent overcooking.
-
The combination of stewed tomatoes, canned whole tomatoes, tomato sauce, and V8 juice creates a flavorful base, enhanced by the addition of beef or chicken broth.
-
If you decide to change the quantities of veggies, be sure to adjust the base quantities accordingly for a well-balanced soup.
Enjoy this delicious and nutritious Tomato Veggie Soup with your loved ones, whether itโs for a quick weeknight dinner or a comforting weekend meal. Itโs versatile, satisfying, and sure to become a family favorite! ๐ ๐ฅ๐ฅฆ
