The other week I was contacted by a representative of Campbell Soup Company to sample and review Campbell’s V8 Garden Vegetable Blend Soup for my blog.
I love all things soup and was pleasantly surprised by the fairly recognizable ingredient list on the packaging.
As well as the decent nutritional stats – minus the sodium content of course.
I had a serving of the Vegetable Soup topped with Spaghetti Squash Seeds on the side of a yummy grilled cheese for lunch.
I went against my natural instincts to pile my sandwich high with every vegetable in the fridge and instead went for simple. Between two slices of Nature Pride 12 Grain Bread I had 1 slice of Mozzarella Cheese, Tomato, Fresh Basil, Spinach, Banana Peppers and a drizzle of Balsamic Vinegar. I grilled my creation on the george foreman.
The true star of this sammie was the drizzle of balsamic vinegar. It gave a great sweet touch that blended perfectly with the classic mozzarella, tomato and basil combination.
I hate to say it, but the soup was just ok. I had really high hopes for the creamy, thick soup, but one bite and I was instantly reminded of canned vegetable soup. It had no flavor, none of the veggies really stood out and it kept reminding me of the soups I refused to eat when I was little before I realized soup can actually taste good.
On the plus side each serving of the vegetable soup contains a lot of great nutrients and a full serving of vegetables in every bowl. I think if I were to have this soup again I would simply doctor it up to make it more flavorful and less boring.
Campbell Soup Giveaway….
Of course you don’t have to take my word for it. You can try the soup yourself. Who knows you may think it’s the best thing in the world.

i LOVE canned soup but i have a heart condition an i am on a 2000 mg salt diet…. when you have a bowl of soup you get so much sodium and its so not worth it most of the time.

My favorite veggie dish has to be green beans sauteed in a little bit of olive oil with garlic, cayenne, and a dash of salt. So simple, yet so good!
My favorite vegetable is…well, I don’t really like vegetables so I like eating them with anything that makes them palatable. Recently my favorite is zucchini chips (zucchini coated in thin layer of bread crumbs/parm cheese and baked until somewhat crispy).
My all time favorite veggie is definitely sweet potato. I love it baked with a little bit of brown sugar, some kosher salt, and a tiny bit of butter.
tough question! i’ll go with whats a favorite right now. thats gotta be brussel sprouts. tossed in OO and salt and roasted in the oven.
My favorite veggie hands down is the sweet potato. I don’t even need to doctor it up with sugar or butter…straight up is good for me!
I love V8 juice but have never tried their soups…now would be a great opportunity for that!
I love any veggies fresh, just the way they are…but bell peppers cooked into a tomatoey marinara sauce gets me every time
I’ve never tried that kind – but I do enjoy their tomato soup, and V8′s Spicy Hot Veggie Juice
My fave veggie would have to be sweet potato or butternut squash, I can’t decide!
Enjoy your Tuesday!
My favorite vegetable is zucchini but a close second would be okra. Both are very easy to fix and taste good in lots of different dishes. Love your blog!
Brussel sprouts with a drizzle of olive oil, shake of S and P and then roasted in the oven. Amazingly good!
my favorite veggie is BROCCOLI!
jenna
Okra!!! I love it roasted in the oven with salt or cut up and cooked with a can of fire roasted diced tomatoes. Holy Yum!
asparagus – just sauteed in a little olive oil with salt. so good!
hmmm I love roasted carrots tossed in hummus. soooo good.
Too many favorites to chose just one! Lately I have really been enjoying oven roasted okra and eggplant.
My favorite vegetable is butternut squash. I love it baked into fries or blended into creamy soups!
hmmm….so many good vegetables.
Sweet potatos, sliced, and tossed in EVOO, Paprika, and sea salt and baked at 350 for an hour. They make the tastiest french fries!
T ough question! My favorite veggie has to be broccoli — I have loved it forever. It is boring, I know, but my favorite was to prepare it is to simply steam.
Eggplant!! I love it grilled on its own, in paninis, on top of salads…the list goes on!
I am the BSI host for this week, Meghann!! Check it out and I’d love for you to participate…only if you have time, of course. I know you are busy busy!
Steamed broccoli. I think I have it everyday, which is fine since it’s a great, light veggie with calciyum
Right now my favorite veggie is corn–I made this outstanding corn chowder the other night: http://www.wholeliving.com/recipe/white-cheddar-corn-chowder
Sweet potato fries, so easy and lovely sprinkled with sea salt!
I have been on the lookout for a good vegetable soup, so I wouldn’t mind trying this one.
My favorite vegetable? I love a lot of them, but most recently it has been the sweet potato – baked & topped with cinnamon – yum!
I saute hearts of palm in a little butter and serve with bbq sauce–delish!
Hmmm, probably eggplant,I slice it thin and top it off with marinara and low fat cheese
my favorite veggie dish broccoli – served anyway!
Spaghetti squash is yummy, just steam and take a fork to spoon out the strands, serve with butter, olive oil or your fave pasta sauce@
I really like carrots, I eat them plain–no prep involved!!!
Butternut squash baked in the oven until it’s very soft…either served plain or with a little cinnamon or butter.
I don’t discriminate, I love all my veggies! If I had to choose I guess I would say artichokes, steamed and dipped in butter
For me, I love green beans that are lightly blanched, they are crispy like fries and taste great with a low fat sour cream dip (or on their own!)
Steamed broccoli! Not very exciting, but always delicious!
favorite veggie is broccoli and I love it steamed with some BBQ sauce for dipping, YUM!
My favorite veggie is my mom’s “fried” green beans – really they’re just sauteed with EVOO but they’re AMAZING.
I absolutely love raw veggies, but kale ‘chips’ and butternut squash ‘fries’ are probably my favorite for the moment. But, I also cannot turn down veggies on the grill, especially the mushrooms. This is making me very hungry!
My favorite vegetable is brussel sprouts and i love to shred them and stir fry with salt, pepper and earth balance and put it on top of whipped parsnips!
I love cabbage: shredded, sauteed, & tossed in soy sauce. Yummy!
Asparagus — grilled. Mmmmm so good!!!
Right now my fave veggie is beets… roasted and served with feta, onions & balsamic vinagrette. I made this a few days back and it was fab!
Asparagus…roasted with olive oil, parmesan, salt, and pepper.
I love squash. A little evoo and some of mrs dash seasonings in the oven at 350 for 15 to 20 for a single serving. Yummmmmm!!!!
YUMMM I love acorn squash baked in the oven with apple, cinnamon, and a little bit of butter.
My favorite vegetable is asparagus. I usually roast it at 450 for about 15 minutes with feta tossed over it.
Oh your sandwich looks and sounds good!
My favorite veggie is roasted brussel sprouts. I linked my name to the recipe if you’re interested. I also make asparagus the same way and love that veggie too.
Hi Meghann! My favorite veggie is definitely broccoli and I think my favorite way to prepare it would be with peanut sauce. The broccoli really absorbs the sauce and its delicious!
I actually love the Campbell’s v8 Butternut Squash soup! I just prepare it “as is” and it is still so flavorful!
My favorite veggie is zucchini (if I really must pick only one!) and I saute it with EVOO and garlic! My favorite raw veggie though is definitely a red bell pepper!
I love bell peppers, cut up and eaten raw! I have actually eaten a bell pepper like an apple once – I weirded out my coworkers, but it was still tasty!
I have some of this soup but I haven’t tried it yet! Maybe you can add some chopped, steamed veggies to it to make it a little tastier for you!
Carrots in absolutely ANY form! YUM! I also love mushrooms, asparagus, tomatos, squash (all forms), green beans… Not in any particular order.
I love, love, love vegetables….making it hard to pick one. I think a stand out would be roasted brussel sprouts with s + p…or steamed artichokes!
I hate vegetables. I guess that counts me out. But I do like corn on the cob?? lol.
Was I the only one giggling at the pens?
lol.
Um, my fav veggie is hard. Normally, I would say I love zucchini but the other day, I made the most amazing chili-roasted carrots that are definitely in my top spot right now.
Uh-mazing.
http://leftoversforlunch.wordpress.com/2009/10/03/quinoa-salmon-stew-w-tomatoes/
Sweet potatoes — love them baked in the oven.
I love butternut squash fries. just cut them and bake!
i think my favorite veggie might be corn on the cob?! just lightly salted
but that’s a tough call! im an equal veggie lover 
My fav veggie is corn on the cob! I love to grill it with creole seasoning!! Yum yum. Thanks for the chance to win the soup. I love these soups the roasted red pepper is a must try!
My favorite veggie has to be spinach. I love to put it on my pizza or as a salad with some salsa and a few chips.
I can’t pick just one but I love to ROAST them. Great with zucchini, onions, mushrooms, peppers, etc. So sweet!
any veggie that you can dab with a little olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and roast in the oven for 15 minutes! especially zucchini or asparagus
I cook cabbage literally every other night (that’s probably embarrassing… whatever.), and it is absolutely my favorite vegetable. I’ll cook another veggie with it, such as asparagus or zucchini or eggplant, but cabbage is always the staple. It’s so simple, too – chop up the head to your liking (I usually do a large shred), spray a pan, put cabbage in said pan, crank up the heat to med-high, and after some stirring and wilting and seasoning-adding, voila! DELICIOUS. My mom always tells me it’s the Slovak in me that makes me love it so much.
I love fresh asparagus roasted with salt and pepper and little bit of olive oil- nice and crispy in the oven!
Cucumbers. Simply sliced and salted. yum.
Or arugula in a salad. But don’t count me in the contest, I think soup where natural flavoring is “milk” is weird. Thoughts???? I wonder why those ingredients are necessary when there are so many other boxed soups on the market that don’t have the weird stuff.
This is too hard! Summer: Grilled onions and Zuchinni
Winter: Homemade veggie soup! Potatoes, carrots, lima beans, peas, corn, barley, beans!
Cool giveaway Meghann! My favorite veggie…tough. I’d have to say asparagus or broccoli. Both are great roasted with a touch of olive oil, garlic, and s&p. And I love steamed broc too!
Carmelized Cabbage! It is so fantastic. You just chop a head of red cabbage and add to a sautee pan with olive oil and let it cook down. The cabbage is the best once it starts to carmelize and brown. You don’t even need to season it!
For a normal sized serving I usually use 1/4 a head of cabbage, but I’ve been known to eat 1/2 a head from time to time
I was laughing at the pens too
My favorite veggie is Raw Pea Pods, I love the crunch!
sauteed zucchini with garlic, salt, and pepper! Holy yum!
My current favorite vegetable is acorn squash, just cubed up and baked. I don’t think I could pick a real favorite now… I like every vegetable I’ve tried so far, but as a kid it would have been spinach.
I’m not sure about this soup but Campbell’s V8 Garden Broccoli and Butternut Squash soups are really good, so I would like to try this. I don’t think I’ll win it but… *hopes*
Any veggie grilled, veggies are good, but so much better off the grill.
The Brocolli soup is pretty good, for future reference.
Asparagus tossed with balsamic, olive oil, garlic, S&P and roasted in the oven!
Asparagus – just a tiny bit of olive oil and put in in the pan on the stove! easy easy easy. I might put some seasonings (salt/pepper) on it, but most of the time I just love to taste my veggies plain!
I honestly don’t like canned soup. Homemade all the way.
I could never get sick of roasted asparagus! It’s definitely my favorite veggie, especially with a little lemon juice and pepper
Great giveaway!
Roasted asparagus is absolutely my fav!!!
my newest favorite veggie is BEETS!! i love them just boiled (like a potatoe!) and then chopped up in my salads!! Makes my salads PINK (and my pee red :/) but also adds great flavor!
Easy. Favorite veggie(/my breakfast EVERY morning for the past 3 weeks) is butternut squash roasted with lots of cinnamon, served right out of the oven in a bowl with greek yogurt, flax meal, almonds, berries, more cinnamon, and a little TJs grain milk. So. Good.
I love ROASTED BROCCOLI!!!! YUMMM!
I can’t really choose between one vegetable. I just love to roast them all together in olive oil, salt & pepper. Delicious!
My favorite veggie is acorn squash. I just roast it with cinnamon & a tiny bit of butter. Yum.
The V8 tomato soup is way better than the one you got to sample. Boo for not sending you the yummy one.
I heart veggies, especially in veggie packs. I take a sheet of tinfoil, throw sliced baby red potatoes, carrots, onions, pea pods, garlic and peppers inside and then drizzle with Kraft Free Zesty Italian Dressing (1-2 T) and season with salt and pepper. I then bake at 450 degrees 40 min and have tender veggie packs!
Well I love almost every veggies, but I put spinach in about everything I eat!
My favorite vegetable is zucchini and i like roasting it to dip in kethcup (like french fries) or mixed with other vegetables in olive oil salt pepper and garlic-roasted in the oven again! maybe even a little Parmesan cheese
loveee all vegetable though!
Well, I’m sure my husband would love the soup (Parmesan cheese = not vegan; totally unnecessary for a vegetable soup!), and the rest of the goodies look fun
My favorite vegetable if I’m eating it plain old is red pepper, but I love roasted brussel sprouts. So good!
2 words, Pumpkin oatmeal
My favorite veggie is (random) baby corn! I love them in stirfries and salad. They are so fun to eat!
Although it may not sound true, my favorite vegetable is brussel sprouts! I love them roasted in the oven.
i love carrots and i enjoy stir frying them and adding them to my meals.
Bell peppers and zucchini stuffed and roasted in the oven.
Broccoli!!
I love broccoli salad ( so not healthy, involves mayo, sourcream, shredded cheese and bacon ) or broccoli in a stuffing concoction baked.
My favorite vegetable is mushrooms, particularly baby bella mushrooms! I love to put them in scrambled egg whites with sharp cheddar cheese melted on top…. mmmmm…
My favorite vegetable is spinach! It is so good as fresh baby leaves in a salad, mixed up in a smoothie, or use the frozen kind w/ balsamic vinegar and water chestnuts!
Count me in! I love broccoli– used to be just steamed or tossed with a little EVOO but recently I’ve jumped on the sugared + roasted bandwagon and it is soo yum
Hmm, my favorite veggie is broccoli! I love it roasted, steamed, raw, grilled, etc. I can mix it in pasta, pizza, soups, stews, hummus, etc. Its so versatile! And its super nutritious!
Steamed broccoli with hummus to dip in or grilled green beans and cherry tomatoes. Or raw carrots with nut butter… I can’t choose!
I’d have to go with steamed green beans or boiled turnips with just a little salt on top!
My favorite vegetable would be butternut squash roasted in the oven and served as “fries”. Delish!
my favourite vegetable is steamed broccoli and cheese, boring I know, but oh man so delicious, okay I wish I was eating some right now . . . you know what I do for a simple way to make home mad soup, put a can or package of soup in a pot, then add more water and vegetables, it’s still kind of homemade, but with fresher ingredients . . . plus doubling the liquid quantity with water takes the salt down
Steamed brussel sprouts with a generous serving of parm cheese sprinkled on top! Yummy!!!!!!
Hi Meghann.
I’ve been following your blog since your POST San Diego Rock n Roll Maarathon entry. I too ran that marathon (my first marathon as well) and had googled it to see if anyone had any reviews about it. I loved every minute of the race and its funny because I must have seen you on the course because my finish time was 4:13:44.
After reading your post I was amazed to see how much we had in common about healthy eating views AND life POST college and working the office 9-5 job. I graduated from college in 2006 and since then have been attached to the computer for 8 hours a day… avoiding all the candy and snacks we have all around the office!
Anyway, I could really use a new pedometer so I thought I give your give away a chance. I LOVE broccoli and Iove it steamed with a pinch of salt and pepper for flavor. A matter of fact that is what I’m having lunch today along with steamed yellow squash and asparagus. I know you must be planning dinner already, but its only noon here in southern cali.
Best,
aileen
Steamed brocolli with cheese!
Eggplant.. I love roasting and then topping with pizza sauce!
Oooh… I love ALL vegetables! But one of my favorites is roasted sweet potato. Drizzle with a little EVOO, a dash of salt & pepper, and into the oven for 15-20 min. So crispy and yum!
I love those veggie shaped pens, so cute!
My favorite veggie is roasted asparagus with just a little salt and pepper.
My favorite vegetable would be brussel sprouts. I like them baked or just nuked!!
It is so hard to pick a favorite vegetable….I love big salads loaded with tons of veggies. If I have to pick just one – asparagus!
I love those soups! They’re surprisingly tasty! And great with a sandwich for a nice, fall lunch!
I love baby spinach; I honestly eat it every day.
I haven’t met a vegetable I didn’t like, but one of my favorite veggie dishes is mashed cauliflower with a little bit of liquid smoke and nutritional yeast thrown in!
Sweet Potatoes! I love making sweet potato fries or just baking it and topping with almond butter:)
It’s hard to choose but my longterm favorite has been eggplant! I love eggplant parm.! Also broccoli, green beans and zucchini are faves of mine!
brussel sprouts roasted in evoo!
I love me some pea soup my fave!! I need to pick some soups up to try this Fall
my favorite veggie is brussel sprouts! i used to hate them as a kid, but now I cant get enough
I really like their butternut squash and southwestern corn varieties of this soup. I haven’t tried the vegetable so maybe it’s not as good as those other two, but given that I like the other two I think it’d be worth at try!
My favorite vegetable is Sweet Potatoes, i like to make them into fries, so I coat them with olive oil, sea salt, paprika, and pepper. Bake them in the oven for 30 minutes (turning them halfway through). I also enjoy baked acorn or butternut squash!
Steamed broccoli! I love broccoli in any way, shape or form but steamed is the way to go.
I love steamed broccoli with scrambled eggs and a bit of cheese for breakfast. Delicious!
It’s SO hard to pick just one…but because it’s fall (and cold where I am at) I am going with squash! I love baked squash! MMMM! I may have just solved my dinner dilema!
My favorite veggie is Butternut Squash. I LOVVVVE making fries out of them. Cut them into fry like wedges, drizzle a bit of EVOO on top and sprinkle with lemon pepper and salt seasoning. Bake at 425 until they become the crispness you want! =]
I could seriously make a meal out of these. My mom, who is not a veggie loving person, ask for these whenever she comes over!
I really really really like sauteed onions. I know it seems so simple and sort of odd, but they make the best sandwich toppers, pizza topper, go well in stir-fry, soups and over chicken or steak(if you eat meat). There is just something so satisfying about piling a bunch of sauteed onions on to give a lot of great flavor without a whole lot of calories!
Cool giveaway!
broccoli and I just put olive oil on it and roast it!
so simple, yet so delicious!
Thanks for hosting a giveaway! I love sweet potatoes! They’re the best baked with black beans and ketchup!
got to love butternut squash roasted with a little bit of black pepper, the flavor kind of just infuses everything when u bite into it with somthing else
mmmmm ^_^
My favorite vegetable is roasted brussel sprouts!
My favorite vegetable is butternut squash the way my aunt prepares it. Im not sure exactly how its made, but I think she boils it, mashes it up, and simmers it with lots of onion, some butter, a little salt, and a splash of milk and then serves it over rice. Its sooo good!
Sweet Potatoes, sliced into fries and tossed with olive oil, and grilled till crispy!
My fav… broccoli. Steamed just enough to cook, but still very crunchy. Plain, with a bit of salt. Boring, but delicious
So hard to choose a favorite! The first I thought of was okra chopped, sauteed, and coated in hot sauce. Yum!
I can’t pick just one favorite vegetable. I love roasted broccoli but also love grilled squash and zucchini.
A vegetable that I remember growing up as a bland soggy mess the way my mom cooked it – but cooked the right way, cauliflower, roasted w/ S&P and a drizzle of olive oil, is delicious!
always broccoli with lots of parmesan cheese on top
xoxo
Lo
My favorite veggie soup is a staple every winter. I take a bunch of potatoes (from my mom’s garden) and cube them up and throw them in the slow cooker with some white wine and tarragon vinegar. And wild rice if I have it. Then I’ll add an onion or two, some carrots (red, white and orange), some zucchini (all from my mom’s garden) and a can of corn. Or, whatever else I have lying around. Let it all cook together with some garlic and basil and serve it with some crusty bread. Yummy.
My favorite vegetable is spinach. it goes with everything! Eggs, salads, cheese, etc. My favorite way to have it is sauteed with olive oil and garlic.
I love asparagus! When I was a kid, I liked the canned kind but now I only like fresh. I sprinkle sea salt, pepper and various herbs depending on my mood and what other dishes I’m preparing. Then I roast them until they are tender crisp. Perfect every time!
I love all veggies really! But right now I love, love sweet potatoes. I like to cut them into fries and bake in the oven until crispy! Yum!
I’ve never tried their Vegetable soup, BUT I really really liked the Southwestern Corn !
It’s got the taste and thickness of a creamed corn soup, but way, WAY healthier!
My favorite vegetables are sugar snap or snow peas. Just steamed, with a bit of sea salt, please!
that’s disappointing – living in a dorm, one of my staples is shelf stable soup/broth that i always doctor with tons of frozen veggies and lots of garlic/italian seasoning!
My current veg obsession is using steamed spinach as a base for my dining hall meals (just nuke a HUGE PILE of it for 30 seconds) then when i do tastes of a few different things it absorbs all the flavors – or if stuff’s not ‘saucy’ i just add a gob of hummus! so good and an easy way to add in greens when you’re in a ‘hot food’ mood – i don’t really crave salad in the winter but this hits the spot!
I can’t pick a favorite! Probably tied zuchinni and broccoli. And organic carrots. And arugula. And the best way to have most veggies is GRILLED. Period
Favorite veggie? Sweet potato! I love it with some greek yogurt and some spices. YUM.
Probably sweet potato. I make fries and I make them spicy…cayenne, garlic, chili powder, cumin and then sprinkled with cinnamon and dipped in a little catsup. Excellent. Zucchini is a close runner up, sauteed with garlic and some basil and then sprinkled with parm! yum
Yellow squash in a squash casserole is my fave!!!
My favorite veggies dish is a baked sweet potato dish that has carrots and clementines, it’s divine!
My favorite veggie is spinach, I love it sauteed with garlic and olive oil, or in green monsters…OBVI!
I love all veggies! I have to say I do love my carrots and broc steamed with a little salt and parm cheese on them…Sweet potatoe fries in the oven with ketchup is grand as well! I LOVE the V8 Campbell soups! Soup is one of my favorite things to eat. Especially being in Central Illinois where the winters can be brutal! I am keeping my fingers crossed on this one!
carrots are my favorite and I can eat them anytime, anywhere!
sweet potato fries!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My favorite vegetable has to be cho-cho a squash like fruit (I know you said vegetable but it is squash like!). The sad thing is you can rarely find it in the United States because it is a Jamaican vegetable. Regardless if you are lucky enough to get your hands on one, stuffed cho-cho is one of the easiest and most delish dishes ever. All you need is to cut the cho-cho in half and bake it then scrape out the insides and set aside, mix the inside meat with onion garlic and cheese and place back in the oven! Amazing.
My favorite vegetable is Spaghetti Squash. I love to prepare it with some parmesean cheese and garlic! Yummo!
I love roasting zucchini with a little bit of olive oil, salt and pepper. Yum!
My favorite vegetable is asparagus. I love to roast it and use it as a pizza topping! Matter of fact, i’m eating some right now
My favorite veggie is sweet potatoes. They are best baked into “fries” using just a little olive oil, salt and pepper. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Yum!
If I have to play favorites, I’d have to choose broccoli: raw, steamed, in stir-fry…yum!
Well its too bad you didn’t like the soup much but the sandwich looks delish! I need to try balsamic on a grilled sandwich – great idea!

I adore Brussels Sprouts. I just cut them in half , toss in a little olive oil and sea salt and pepper, and roast them. Delish.
My fav veggie is Asparagus and the best way to prepare it is to simly roast it in the over with a bit of EVOO, S&P! Yum
Favorite veg is steamed green beans with a splash of olive oil, sea salt and garlic powder….one of my fave go-to sides!
Courtney
Adventures in Tri-ing
I love roasted brussel sprouts
I love butternut squash fries. the squash is a pain to cut up, but definitely worth it in the end… yum!
I’m going to say tomato because it’s so versatile. I really enjoy it best as a marinara sauce, but then again I love fresh salsa…ahhh the choices!
http://chickfood.wordpress.com
Sweet potato. In the form of fries. Deep fried. Baked. Love em.
Baked eggplant with rosemary…so good!
My favorite veggie is eggplant! I love to roast it under the oven with a tad of extra virgin olive oil and itailin seasoning. I then can use it to make eggplant parm, eggplant rollitini or just eat it straight. YUMMY
BROCCOLI! I think broccoli’s always been my favorite. I love it raw in salads, steamed, stir-fried, roasted with balsamic vinegar and garlic. Mmm…
My fave veggie is a winter squash roasted…so simple yet so delicious! I also love corn on the cob grilled with a touch of butter and salt…..but had to say goodbye now that it’s fall!
my favorite vegetable is broccoli- drizzled with a little olive oil and roasted in the oven until crisp
brussels sprouts – i even like the frozen kind (but cooked, obviously).
Mmm I love Squash and Sweet Potatoes. And Celery…. I realllly love celery, especially in soup.
Thanks for the Giveaway!!!
I love potatoes! Boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew.
Sweet potatoes are incredibly yummy! I first fell in love with them in fry form- we often cut them into wedges and bake with a light EVOO, chili powder, and garlic powder coating and they are super good! Lately I have just been admiring the sweet potato in it’s simplicity. Just a little smart balance and it’s so great!
Favorite Veggie = Corn!!
I love it boiled plain with lots of pepper.
my fav would be okra
love to bake them or just eat them pickled, either way they are awesome.
Definitely sweet potatoes… I like them baked w/ a little avocado mixed in to make them creamy
My favorite vegetable is probably spinach and I prepare it in many ways but my most favorite would be a simple spinach salad.
Also, I love V-8′s other soups like the butternut squash and the tomato so you might want to give them a shot. I do tend to doctor them up with spices because I like everything ridiculously spicy so I’m not sure how bland they are without my additions. I just like how hearty these soups are and I was also pleasantly surprised by the nutritional information (even the sodium is better than most canned soups)
I love broccoli! Roasted or steamed.
It really depends on the time of year, but as it gets colder, I love brussel sprouts and broccoli. I boil them both (from fresh or frozen), add some sauteed red onions and corn, and douse with Maryland’s favorite spice — Old Bay!!
Steamed carrots! Yum!
Thanks!
LOVE V8 soups- so good! Their corn has been my favorite so far. My favorite veggie right now is brussels. I like to cut them in half and steam them in a pan with a little oil and water so they get a little crispy
oh those veggie pens are so cute! baked sweet potatoes are my favorite veg lately.
I love roasted broccoli!
Yum, I love veggies!! Broccoli is my fave veggie, and I like it pure- just steamed, or in my mom’s broccoli bake!!
xo
K
I’d have to say eggplant. Sliced thin, drizzled with some evoo and grilled. mm mm good
brussel sprouts! roasted with walnuts garlic and onions!
I’m a fan of raw carrots- the whole ones always taste better than baby carrots to me. Just wash, peel, and chomp!
My favorite veggie is grilled eggplant with a bit of balsamic vinegar drizzled on top.
Those pens are amazing!
I’d say my favorite veggie would be a carrot. I like them raw or steamed. Plain or with dip (almond butter, hummus, cottage cheese). They’re so versatile!
My fave veggie is asparagus, and I love to roast it with some salt and EVOO.
Grilled asparagus, yuummmm.
I love baked sweet potatoes!
I love me some broccoli, definitely my favorite just steamed
Lately I am loving steamed green beans with a little salt and pepper and a drizzle of maple syrup on top. Yum!
Roasted asparagus or fresh tomato in a caprese salad with aged balsamic vinegar!
My favorite vegetable is broccoli, and i love it raw with almond butter and a drizzle of agave. I know, I have unusual tastes!
Brussel sprouts, definitely roasted:)
I like green and red peppers – in fajitas!
my favorite vegetable are carrot, i love them raw with hummus
Corn on the cob is definitely my favorite, grilled! But it’s also great off the cob and frozen for soup in the winter
love soup!
what a cool giveaway! .. You should try the butternut squash version of the soup. It was reallyyyyyy good!
My new favorite vegetable lately has been brussel sprouts just with a drizzle of oil olive .. some salt and pepper and roasted in the oven .. for some reason I like them a little burnt? haha
How do I pick a favorite vegetable? There are so many!! Probably butternut squash cooked as fries.
Sweet potatoes cooked on the grill are amazing!
EGGPLANT! No contest.
Prepared any way – usually just baked with S&P.
I am loving kale chips right now–I just toss them with garlic pepper and throw them in the oven on 400 for 10 or so minutes (until they start to look crispy)!
How do I choose?! So many. At the current moment… broccoli! Roasted with a bit of olive oil, sea salt, and fresly ground black pepper. Mmmmm….
My favorite vegetable is broccoli! I love it steamed!!! What a great, fresh flavor!
My favorite veggie right now is green/yellow zucchini. I love to stew it in marinara sauce with a tiny slice of bacon, and then i can use it as a sauce for rice, chicken, or any other veggie! yum
I love those V8 soups!
I’m boring but something about freshly steamed broccoli, lightly seasoned with salt and pepper served with hummus, will always have a spot in my heart
My favorite veggie by far are brussels sprouts and I love to eat them steamed with hot sauce! Mmmmmmm
I tried the V8 Roasted Red Pepper and Butternut Squash soup and both were seriously delicious.

I love carrots, cukes, and tomatoes just sliced up and chomped on!
My favorite vegetable is Eggplant. I love it any way, but one of my favorite was to have it is in Ratatouille. You saute it in a pan, add sauteed zucchini and diced tomatoes. Sprinkle some herbs de Provence, salt and pepper and that’s it! So yummy.
