I Don’t Like Vegetables Soup
1-3 cups chopped cooked meat (I usually use chicken)
3 large rutabagas, peeled and chopped
1/2 celery bunch, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
Any other leftover, in season, inexpensive, or sale vegetables (green beans, cabbage, asparagus)
6-ounce can tomato paste
Water to cover
4 tablespoons chili seasoning mix or to taste (recipe below)

This is clearly and obviously a vegetable soup. But the chili seasoning and the long cook time mute the flavors and make the vegetables more palatable for vegetable haters.

Combine all ingredients in stock pot. Simmer for 5 hours or more. This recipe is generally too large for my slow cooker, but if you have a very large slow cooker, I would imagine you could use that.

4 tablespoons minced onion or onion powder
