Crock Pot Vegetable Soup

My mother in law always likes my Vegetable soup (even though I never make it the same way) Last night I tried something totally different, I used stew beef and cabbage to start it off.. I took my time putting it together and it turned out GREAT if I do say so myself. I make a lot of soup at a time and freeze it in ziploc freezer bags. My M.I.L likes to pull a bag out of the freezer for lunch on a cold or rainy day.

Stew Beef
Cabbage
Corn
Okra
Potatoes
Lima beans
canned tomatoes ( I used 1 can of diced and one can of stewed tomatoes)

Cook the stew beef in the crock pot on low for 3-4 hours. Then add 1/2 a head of cabbage, and cover with water. I let this cook on low all night. Then I added the frozen vegetables and tomatoes. You can used fresh, frozen or canned vegetables. I just use frozen to cut down on the sodium. Then I add the potatoes. I used canned diced potatoes this time. I added oregano, salt, some garlic and onion powder and a pinch of red pepper. I really like to use Italian season tomatoes, but I didnt have any this time so I just seasoned it well.
