Frugal and Healthy Soup/Stew

It's the still-needing-a-name-soup/stew.

It turned out more of a stew than a soup.

I did not use any broth or stock either.  


In desperation to clean out my fridge (1/2 can of homemade canned salsa, and 1/2 can of homemade canned, slightly spicy, zucchini relish), I put some things in the crock pot and the family raved over it.

With using the above, I also tossed in:
-potatoes
-carrots, organic
-celery, organic
-onion 
-green peppers (we froze from the garden last summer) 
-corn (we froze from last summer)
-tomatoes (also from the garden and frozen)
-1 pint of home canned tomato sauce  (also from the garden) 
-some frozen spinach
-some green beans
-about 2 cups of small red beans (previously cooked from dry and frozen)
-dry herbs from the garden (parsley etc), and dehydrated/ground hot peppers from the garden.
-small amount of water (the corn, tomatoes, etc. gave it more liquid as it cooked)
-sea salt and pepper

So far, this was the best ever soup/stew from what ever I had on hand.  The salsa and relish added more veggies and flavor too. 

It was more like "Hobo Stew" only without meat.  The home canned herbed tomato sauce as a base for this was a good choice.  Mmmmm!
