You can blend other vegetables now, if you like (or possibly you can run these vegetables through the blender first - your choice); just juice them and add in to the tomato juice.

Blended carrots, celery, etc can be added, but an alternative method is to add in these at the beginning to boil along with the sliced tomatoes.
