What to do with all the inventory???

Monday, June 15, 2009
After my trips to Biggs this week, I decided it was time to take inventory and plan a menu for the next 2-4 weeks.  Yes, I have that much food!!!  My big question was what will I do with all this V8 juice and V8 Fusion?  I have always made a homemade vegetable soup using my V8 juice, but I wanted something new.  I googled "v8 recipes" and was quite surprised with all of the delicious recipes I found for using both juices.  If you are just in the mood for a good vegetable soup, here is my recipe:
Laura's vegetable soup
1 jug V8 vegetable juice
Fill same jug with water and dump in pan
10-13 cubes beef bouillon
3 bags frozen bags of "veg soup mix" or chop up your own onion, carrots, potatoes, green beans, lima beans, corn - whatever veggies you prefer
2 bay leaves
1 onion
a few dashes of hot sauce (another way to use some of the FREE RedHot we have)
1-2 pounds of cooked ground beef
Cover and cook for at least 30 minutes.  I usually cook mine on low for 1 hour or more.
We always like to add more hot sauce to our individual servings, but that is optional as well.
My kids don't normally like vegetable soup, but they love this recipe!
