INGREDIENTS

• 1 red onion
• 4 celery stalks
• 4 carrots
• 2 medium potaotes
• 2 bell peppers
• 2 cups cut green beans
• 4 cups water
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• Some herbs, such as parsley, oregano, basil, thyme, et cetera. Fresh herbs are preferred over dried, if possible. 
• Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
• About 1/2 cup flour

DIRECTIONS

Stovetop

1. In a large pot, mix together the water, garlic and ketchup.
2. Mix in the veggies and spices and cook on medium low for about 30 - 45 minutes.
3. Mix in the flour to thicken it up a bit.

Slow Cooker

Combine all of the ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on low half the day. This is fine if left covered the whole time. However, it is perfectly OK to stir occasionally.
