the soup of many things

with a refrigerator full of fresh summer veggies i just couldn't help making this stew for my nerd. it's really easy, and i happen to like it because i can spend my time playing with our baby (or watching my nerd paint his miniatures) and less time standing over the stove. it's hearty, healthy, and just a bit spicy.

vegetable and bratwurst stew

14 oz chicken broth
11.5 oz can vegetable-tomato juice cocktail
1 c water
1 lg potato, cubed
2 carrots, sliced
2 celery stalks, diced
1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
1 cup fresh green beans, chopped
1 cup fresh corn kernels
6 bratwurst, fully cooked and sliced
pepper to taste
creole seasoning to taste

in a large pot over medium heat, combine all ingredients. bring to a boil. cover and reduce heat, simmering for 1 hour. remove from heat and allow to cool completely. refrigerate for 24 hours. reheat on the stove and serve.
serves 6- if preparing for just two or three, portion out half into a gallon freezer bag and freeze for future enjoyment!
