I have not tried this yet but already see things I would change. I would use Beef Broth instead of water. I would not add salt right away because I don't like salt in a soup if it does not need to be there. There is salt in the tomato juice, which I might want to switch out for a can of diced tomatoes. There is also salt in beef broth and some beef stocks.

Don adds salt to everything before he even tastes it, as well.

When I try this one, I will tell you exazctly what I did and what should be different or not.
