Over the last few weeks, I've received all of the ingredients in this soup. Tonight, I put them all together and it was very tasty.
2 cans tomato soup
2 Tablespoons Italian Seasoning
5 potatoes (washed in fruit and vegetable rinse and diced small)
1 onion diced small
1 can corn
1 can green beans
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can mixed vegetables
1 can white beans
1 can black beans
1 can kidney beans
Reconstitute the tomato soup and add potatoes, onion and seasoning. Bring to a boil and then turn heat down to medium. Cook until potatoes are soft. Add rest of ingredients and simmer for about 30 minutes.
I like my soup to be very much like stew but, if you like yours thinner, just add another can or two of the reconstituted soup.

I owned a State Approved K-6 for over 20 years and when it closed, I was devastated. However, I decided to make lemonade out of lemons and so I thought: I went to school for 40 years (one class at a time) and I have a PhD, I'll just look for a better job.
And, I did.....look that is, the "finding" part eluded me. I was 60 years old, never got sick and could outwork almost anyone half my age but, as I was looking for a job, it was NOT looking for me!
In the first two years after my school's closure, I applied for over 450 jobs (everything from Starbucks, to Admin Assistant to jewelry sales) and had no luck.
Finally a friend asked why I was counting the jobs and I realized I was focusing on what was NOT happening instead of what might happen so I quit counting, but not applying.
In order to survive, I sold my house and lived off the proceeds while I continued applying. I lived extremely frugally because I knew that the money would not last forever.
Over the years, I have continued to live frugally and apply for jobs. However, there truly is ageism in America today and I have been unsuccessful in getting a "real" job.
What I have been successful at is cobbling together a life by working at my many part time jobs! Currently, I have 2 jobs each day (subbing in the Auburn School District and tutoring at Sylvan Learning Centers). And I do other jobs occasionally such as Real Estate Broker, Author, and Editor.
Because I am a Health Coach, my passion is helping people be healthier.
Over the years, I've learned much about how to be healthy even if I wasn't wealthy so I decided to share my expertise with you! I will bring you tips, recipes, and many ideas on how to choose a healthy lifestyle, even if you are eating out of the local Food Bank and/or don't have much money to pay for gym memberships!
