Vegetable Beef Soup with V8
Ingredients
- 4 cans 11.5oz cans of V-8 juice (plus the same amount of water) Or use (1) 46oz container of V8 Juice (and same amount of water)
- 1.5-2 lbs Ground Beef Cubed will work also
- 2 cans Mixed Vegetables
- 1 pack Lipton Onion Soup Mix Or use this combo...Beef bouillon and minced onions. I use dehydrated minced onion, add to tast
Instructions
- In your crock pot or stock pot, dump V-8 juice in. Fill your V-8 container with water and pour it into the pot. If you are using burger you can pre-cook it and put it in the crock pot. I use whatever beef I have on hand ground or cubed and its been great (venison too). If using cubed beef just toss it into the crock pot.
- Dump both cans of mixed vegetables in, juice and all.
- Add one or the other of the following - BUT NOT BOTH: 1 onion soup mix packet OR minced onions and a couple bouillon cubes (season to taste, but watch how much salt you use because of the bullion and/or onion soup mix).
- Stir, cover & cook on low in your crock pot for the 8 hours.
Check out how Inexpensive Kerrie was able to make this Vegetable Beef Soup with V8 for:
“I had V-8 for $1.25 a large bottle, burger was 99¢/lb for 90/10 (total score and hardly any fat) and 2 cans of mixed vegetables that I bought months ago for 25¢/can. So about $3.73 for two nights of dinners for my hubby and I and a nice size bowl for my lunch. If you double it, expect a bunch.”
I can’t wait to try this frugal & healthy recipe! We have LOTS of venison that I probably will use! Thanks so much Kerrie for passing along this recipe!

Can you add some beef broth instead of the water?
I haven’t tried adding beef broth instead of water but I think it would be fine! Let me know how it turns out if you try it that way!
