Vegetable Soup (cleaning out Frig!)-great

I have a cold and made this today and loved it!! Makes a big pot!

1 pound of ground turkey (you could use beef)

1 onion chopped

1 28 ounce can of Tomato Puree

1 14and1/2 oz can of Italian Stewed tomatoes

1 can of white corn with water

1 and 1/2 cans (using the 15oz size can ) of water

3 celery stalks-chopped

2 parsnips-chopped

2 cups chopped red potatoes with skins on

1/2 cup to a cup of the Julienne fresh carrots

1 14 oz bag of frozen Pick sweet brand cracked pepper California vegetables (broccoli, squash,carrots , cauliflower)

1 zucchini squash cut up

1 15 oz can of cannelloni beans

pepper to taste and 1/8 tsp garlic powder

Saute the meat then throw in all of the rest and simmer 3 hours or cook in crock pot (probably on high for quite some time--all day-unless you parboil the veggies-easier on stove)--the . YUMMY
