What can I use instead of tomato juice, or how can I make my own?!

Question: My husband found a Beef Soup recipe and asked me to make it for dinner. It calls for 6 cups of tomato juice (I'm cutting the recipe in half, I'm only feeding two people), but I forgot to put tomato juice on my grocery list. I have tomato sauce and tomato paste. Is there anything I can do with either of them to make tomato juice?

tomato paste is almost the same as tomato juice except its thicker.

Water down the tomato sauce. 1/2 suace and 1/2 water.

use one can of the tomato sauce.

maybe you can put some water in the tomato paste so that would be kind of like tomato juice.
