ingredients
- 29 ounces chicken broth
- 3 cups vegetable juice (V-8)
- 29 ounces Italian-style diced tomatoes
- 1 small onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 10 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 3 carrots, peeled and sliced
- 1 zucchini, diced
- 1 yellow squash, diced
- 2 cups green beans (fresh or frozen)
- 14 1⁄2 kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 3 -4 cups cabbage, shredded
- 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
- salt and pepper
directions
- In a large frying pan sprayed with cooking spray, sauté garlic, onions, carrots, and mushrooms for about 5 minutes. In a large crockpot, combine sautéed garlic and vegetables with the remaining ingredients. Cook on high for 2-3 hours, or until vegetables are cooked.
- This makes a large batch of soup. If you would like to freeze portions of it to use later, undercook the vegetables just a little. Pour the soup into freezer Ziplock bags and let as much air out as you can. Lay the bags flat on a cookie sheet and freeze. Once the soup is frozen flat, it is easy to layer in your freezer and won't take up much room. To unthaw, place the bag in the fridge for 24 hours and then reheat.

I am originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota and moved to Ohio in 1978. It was quite a culture shock going from the city to living next to the Amish. I spend most of my time cooking, cleaning and caring for my four kids. I have abandoned cookbooks and now cook from favorite, wilted recipe pages and the internet. I fell in love with my Italian family recipes (Scavo, Rotella, Scalzo, Micelli, Grande, Gigliotti) and my Mom's homecooked meals.
