As Good As Cracker Barrel Vegetable Soup

Vegetable soup and grilled cheese is probably my favorite childhood meal, I have looked and looked for a long time for a great homemade vegetable soup and I finally found one!!

10oz bag of frozen chopped onions
12oz bag of frozen peas
12oz bag of frozen corn
12oz bag of frozen lima beans
1 can of green beans (with the juices)
28oz diced canned diced tomatoes
4 beef bouillon cubes (I usually just do 2 though)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 celery stalks, sliced thinly
2 large russet potatoes peeled and cubed
8 cups water
32oz V8 vegetable juice

Before you get started you need to dig out the biggest pot you own...yes I am serious the BIGGEST one you own.   No the one you are thinking wont' work, go BIGGER!    Trust me you will be pouring it into the biggest pot and making a huge mess if you use the smaller one.

Pour everything into the pot and stir.   Bring to a boil.   Lower the temperature and cook for at least 4 hours on low  

You could also do this in the crockpot you would need to cook on low for at least 8 hours.

This recipe makes a TON and it freezes really well.    Hope you enjoy it and don't forget the grilled cheese sandwiches to go with it.
