This recipe is really versatile — play with it! Try adding other vegetables, particularly greens or herbs. The key to the smooth, rich flavor of V8 juice is steaming or simmering the vegetables before blending. The other secret is Worcestershire sauce. Without it, the recipe was either too bland or way too salty, but the Worcestershire adds the perfect touch of complexity.

Ingredients

1 tbsp. parsley
1/4 cup spinach
1 cup water, divided
1/4 tsp. cracked pepper
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
small sliver of beet
1/2 cup carrot, diced
4 cups tomato, diced

Method

01

Combine the tomatoes, carrots, beet, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and 1/2 cup of the water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat. Let simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.
02

Add the spinach and parsley and simmer for another five minutes, keeping the pan covered. Remove from heat and let cool for ten minutes.
03

Pour in a blender, add remaining 1/2 cup of water, and puree until smooth — about two minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve and serve chilled.
