  • “Very yummmmm.The grocery store didn’t have Clamato so I used V-8 Spicy.Delicious!Other than that I followed to the letter!”

  • “Very hearty soup.I used turkey sausage and fat-free low sodium chicken broth to lighten it up.Used an extra can of broth and the full quart of clamato juice and doubled the garlic.The frozen tortellini are a great idea and made this so easy!Next time I’ll add zucchini.”

  • “I loved this soup! It seperates the men from the boys. A true meal in one bowl. I couldn’t find spicy Clamato juice so I used regular and added a few dashes of hot sauce.”

  • “This soup is so good!!! I followed the recipe except I added 2 gloves of garlic. My DH loved this too. Froze some for a later date, can’t wait till we have this again. A keeper!”

  • “This soup is wonderful!!I left out the mushrooms and added a little extra broth.I made a big pot of it friday night to take up to the cottage for lunch on saturday.There were just five of us but not a spoonful was left.Everyone enjoyed it tremendously.Thanks for the recipe, Kate.”
