Dad's Vegetable Soup(Canning)

Mix all ingredients in a large stockpot.

If too thick, add more tomatoes or a large can of tomato juice (do not add water). (Note:

Okra, turnips, butter beans, or any other vegetable may be added.

Commercial canned vegetables can be substituted if fresh or frozen are not available.)

Cook on high heat to bring to boiling point.

Lower heat slightly and continue to cook until all vegetables are soft and flavors blended (2 to 3 hours).
