• 2 stalks celery, chopped
• 1 cup beans, chopped
• 1 cup cabbage, chopped
• 1 carrot, chopped
• 1/4 cup red pepper, chopped

Directions:

Put chicken broth, onion & potato in large pot & bring to a boil. Lower heat & simmer for about 10 minutes. Add rest of vegetables & seasonings. Bring back to a boil & then simmer for another 10 minutes or until all the vegetables are cooked.
