I got this out of the National Enquirer in 1995-1996 when the soup diet originally came out. I don't remember the rules of the diet other than you could eat as much of this as you wanted.

    I switched his up a bit and roasted 2 green and red bell peppers, a container of diced mushrooms and 2 large onions and 2 cloves of garlic (finely chopped) with some salt and pepper in a 425 degree oven for 20 minutes. Then I combined 2 cans of Muir Glen fire roasted crushed tomatoes with the remaining ingredients in a large stock pot to warm through before adding the roasted veggies and Spicy V8 (love my spicy stuff) and simmered for the time stated. I squeezed the lemon juice at the end of the cooking time and ate 2 huge bowls. Yummy! I think the balsamic vinegar and lemon are such a great addition to the original recipe. Thanks for posting this "oldie, but goodie."

    I was pleasantly surprised! This is such a great soup, and perfect to suppliment any diet - especially you WW out there! I like spice, so I used Spicy Hot V8, chopped & de-seeded some jalepenos, extra garlic, and then about 12-14 dashes of Tabasco! It's a great pick me up! Thanks for posting!

    It's January again and here I go looking for this diet soup..couldn't find my recipe and knew to look here!!! Mine is from the early 60's and much the same as this,the exception being beef bouillon used instead of chicken..I think the balsamic vinegar in this recipe(wish wasn't in mine) would be a great addition to the beef flavor also. Thank so much for posting for safe keeping Spyder-man. BTW you do lose weight on this besides it being so darn good!!!
