Bump.....I've already made two batches of this soup this Fall. My daughter Laura loves it. She said I can make it every week last time she ate it! I never have to pitch it.
If anyone is looking for a good vegetable soup recipe, try this one. I have changed the printed recipe from the back of the Kroger Brand Vegetable Broth can but even if you followed it, instead of my version, I'm sure it would be great.
We don't even miss the meat!

Mary, this sounds just like my homemade veggie soup recipe. I've used V-8 for many years. I used to use tomato juice. Now I use the spicy V-8 juice or add a bit of hot sauce. I don't use parsnip but am going to try it. I use a package of frozen mixed vegetables and dice and saute some sirloin tip roast. YUMMY

Karan - there is just something about this recipe. Maybe it's the V-8 juice or maybe the Knorr's vegetable bouillon cubes. Whatever it is, just the broth alone tastes so good.
I don't use parsnips though. Maybe you misunderstood. I add 2 Turnips, chopped up. They seem to add a certain flavor too.

It is the bulb of a turnip green. The size is somewhere between a baseball and a golf ball. Taste more like a potatoe that anything. My grandma always grew them and cooked the 2 together, the greens and the turnip. Never had them raw though. We used to pick the greens from the garden and eat those raw. Anyway you should try them. They are great in a soup. Both the greens and the turnip are good in soup.

Now I never thought to look for the greens and the bulb. I think I will! Sounds like the greens would add flavor even if you just pitch them before you eat the soup.
The turnips I see are about the size of potatoes, with the skin turning purple where they cut the tops off. Similar to how a potato turns brown, a turnip must turn purple? Something like that....you can stretch mashed potatoes by adding turnips to the pot.
