Stock, enough to cover all the ingredients after the canned tomatoes are
tossed in
Onions and garlic
Any veggies you like and can tolerate - shredded cabbage, celery plus
leaves, carrots, turnip, broccoli that may have started to seed.
Cook in a slow cooker on low (after bringing to the boil) until veggies
are done to your satisfaction
Sounds mighty yummy. Thanks for the recipe. I have a pot of turkey soup going as we speak..made from a leftover smoked turkey carcass. Its tasting purty good but dont have any veggies to go in it..also no noodles..sniff sniff. Thought about dumplings or rice but heck..who needs all those unhealthy carbs huh? Think I just eat it sorta clear and have the bread on the side. Do you think that would be a good plan? Or any other good ideas would appreciated. Thanks.
