hello Andre, I have finally come on to rate your recipe! Have done it and it is wonderful. Used to make it alot (once a week) as soup of the day in the restaurant I worked for. Have sbstituted the juice with V-8 juice before, or even half V-8 annd half Tomato. Everyone loved it no matter which way. Big seller! P.S. Have joined the site and will post some recipes soon.

Excellent recipe. I use half the water and substitute the remainder with either chicken, beef or vegetable broth. We love macaroni and so we increase that by 1/2 cup. Have also used V-8 as suggested by anothe reviewer...either way, delicious!! When reheating we add a couple of tablespoons of water to thin it down as it thickens when refrigerated. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for posting this. I wanted something to go with sandwiches so I thought I would give this a try. This was a great start but I did make some modifications to suit our taste - I added one small can of tomato paste for some additional tomato flavor and also some old bay seasoning for a nice "kick". It went over so well that it is now our new favorite soup. No more canned tomato soup for us.

My great-grandma has made this as a side dish since I can remember. She just uses a little less water and part of a small can of tomato sauce rather than tomato juice. Her mother made it during the depression and it has been a family favorite ever since. Thanks for taking me back
