We love soups in the winter and this was a sure try from looking at the ingredients. It was delicious! I used low sodium beef broth and added about 2 cups of Spicy V-8 juice to it. I opted for the wine. I served it with hot rolls right out of the oven. This will see to repeats here!

I also found this is in the Oregonian years ago. Make it every year for family. It is a favorite. So happy to find it online in case I lose or wear out the original recipe from the paper. I do skip the tomato sauce, add some V-8 juice as it is healthy and also some Worcestershire sauce and garlic. Merry Christmas.... from Oregon.

We loved this soup. I added some mixed vegetables and cooked the pasta with the soup rather than cooking it separately. I had an open bottle of wine so I used the wine option rather than vinegar.

My family enjoyed this soup with bread. I too added the red wine vinegar since I didn't have any wine. With the wine vinegar and tomatoes this was a bit on the acidic side so I added a pinch of sugar. Your suggestion of carrots would counter that (I read recently that Italian cooks add carrots rather than add sugar). A hearty soup - good for a nippy fall day. Thanks Muffinlady.
