I make this thick, comforting soup often for my family during the cold winter months. It is so fast & easy to fix and it is rather low in fat and calories. This makes 4 very large servings. To reduce sodium, you may use low sodium green beans if you prefer. I adapted this recipe from "Fast,Cheap,& Easy," by JoAnna Lund. Condensed cream of tomato soup and condensed regular tomato soup are interchangeable in this recipe, no alterations necessary... the important part is that it is indeed a condensed version of tomato soup, as opposed to ready to serve.

I made this months ago and forgot to rate, sorry. I like this recipe cause I had all the ingredients on hand. I added a pinch of cayanne to add some kick. I also omitted the rice and instead used a handful of macoroni noodles. The end result was delicous. Thanks for sharing

    This dish is the best, especially on cold winter evenings! I know it says that regular condensed soup can be used instead of the condensed cream soup, however, I actually liked the cream of tomato back when I could actually find it. So, I usually add just a little heavy cream when I add the soup and I think it really makes this dish wonderful. I have doubled this recipe for my family, and even tripled it when guests were coming over and everyone loves it. The only problem is that I never seem to have any leftovers ;-( I have actually made this about a dozen times, can't believe I forgot to rate it!

    This is a thick, very good, very satisfying soup. I made the recipe just as posted, except for adding lots of cracked pepper. This was to be a first course for St. Patricks day dinner, but decided to have it on Sat with a big loaf of french bread. Glad we did. It may be too much of a soup to start a meal. This soup IS a meal. Delicious!! Thanks Heather Feather!

    This is an excellent recipe and is simple to make. The perfect dinner for a chilly night. I doubled the recipe but, instead of 2 cans of green beans, I used one can and added a mixture of veggies I had in my freezer. I served it with crusty sour dough rolls and loved it. I've made it several times since, including a quadruple batch when I had a large number of guests staying w/ me over New Years. Thanks for posting the perfect veggie beef soup recipe! I love it!
