Preparation: Start by prepping your vegetables. Chop the carrots, onions, cabbage, green bell peppers, and celery into bite-sized pieces.
Combining the Ingredients: In your large pot, combine all the chopped vegetables, canned tomatoes (with their liquid), onion soup mix, tomato juice, and beef broth. Fill with enough water to cover the vegetables.
The Simmering: Bring the pot to a gentle simmer and let the magic happen. The vegetables will become tender, and the flavors will meld beautifully. This usually takes about 30-45 minutes.
Tasting and Tweaking: Taste your soup and adjust the seasoning as needed. Some might like a bit more salt, while others might enjoy a dash of pepper.
