V8 Vegetable Juice

V8 makes GREAT vegetable soup!

V8 makes the BEST vegetable soup I have ever had. Get some good beef chunks. Cook them down till tender. Add chunked potatoes. Add corn. Add green beans. Cook in crock pot several hours. The BEST I have ever eaten...maybe if you do this with your V8, your wife won't think you are weird! I'll bet you she would really like it too...Enjoy!
 
But I am strange. I like a glass of very very cold butter milk every now and then. I've been drinking butter milk since I was little. Maybe it's a southern thing? But I like it.

Apparently, it's traditional to eat Irish steel-cut oatmeal with buttermilk.

(I just use buttermilk to make pancakes and waffles.)
 
I only buy V8 in big plastic jugs or little glass bottles. I haven't bought V8 in cans in years. I don't like the aluminum taste of any can.

Even if I drink a diet soda in a can, I use a straw.

I prefer bottles.
 
I like original V-8, but the cans were so often dented that I quit buying it. I guess I should get a big plastic bottle when I shop next.

I'm more into grape juice. I like the original Welch's variety.

BTW Lt. George Welch, a fighter pilot who shot down some Jap planes at Pearl Harbor, was a member of the grape juice family.

Grape juice is actually higher in Vit. C and antioxidants than orange juice, but I like that, too.

Tora Tora Tora Was on TV this afternoon showed the couple of US planes that got off and shot some enemy down. HEROES!

I, too, drink Welches in honor of Lt Welch. Don't like grape or orange juice too much but I sure like their cranberry juice, either straight or with a little vodka. Unfortunatly I think it's got a lot of sugar in it.
 
I'll admit, a tall COLD glass of buttermilk is such a treat. I like to put pepper in mine. There is a small Amish store back home that sells a variety with butter flecks in it.

Let me tell you, if those butter flecks could talk, I'd listen. :cool:
 
WARNING! If you are on a blood thinner like Warfarin (Coumadin)
for example, the vitamin K content in V8 juice could foul up your INR.

I saw that and Lt. Welch was one of the P-40 pilots depicted. He was called George and the name was credited in the cast.

I believe that Welch got several addtional kills later in the war.

I like Ocean Spray Cranapple juice, and it does have some sugar. But I worry more about the sugar that I put in 4-7 cups of tea and coffee most days.

I also eat Ocean Spray Craisins, sort of like raisins, but cranbrries. I eat a small box or two most days.
 
Low sodium is a big factor when you have high blood pressure. I love tomato juice and V8 but have to stay away because of the high salt content. Even the so-called "low sodium" types have too much salt. But, that said, I still enjoy a bloody mary every so often. Spicy of course with some added hot sauce.

I liked buttermilk as a kid but the stuff available now is not the same.
 
I like V8, my wife thinks I am weird because I don't care for tomato soup which I call warm juice. She thinks tomato juice is cold soup. Keep yourself happy and don't sweat it. For add on's to V8 I like tapatio hot sauce.

I remembered your post and put some spicy v8 and leftover cut up steak with cut up taters and onions in a crock pot for about 2 hours on high and then just threw the steak in after the taters were done.
Really surprised me for a leftover meal. :)
