My wife's health has deteriorated and she no longer cooks, so that makes me "Chef, Cook & Bottle Washer". I spent 20 years on the fire Department and have done plenty of cooking, but I look for fast easy recipes.

This is one I came up with pretty well duplicates what she used to make. It's fast & easy; requires no cooking; all ingredients come in cans; it can be stored in refrigerator and heating up. A serving heated in the microwave takes only 2 minutes, pausing to stir every 40 seconds to keep it from popping in MW.

Let's get started:

Step 1: INGREDIENTS

The ingredients are pretty basic and healthy:

1 - 18.5 oz can of "Progresso Traditional Beef & Vegetable Soup". My favorite, but you might try other flavors

1 - 14 oz can of "Hunt's Petite Diced Tomatoes"

1 - 14 oz can of "Libby's Cream Style Corn" Cream style doesn't pop n microwave as bad as whole kernel.

1 - 14 oz can of "Bruce's Cut Okra" If this is not available, use a can of cut carrots or potatoes.

Step 2: MIXING & STORING IN "FRIG

Drain the Okra,

Add all ingredients to a medium sized plastic container with lid and stir to mix.

Store in closed container in refrigerator.

Step 3: HEAT 'N EAT

Dip a serving into bowl

Cover & heat in microwave for a total time of about 2 minutes, stirring every 40 seconds.

I enjoy it often with Ritz Vegetable Crackers.

I hope you enjoy it. If you do, please comment below and
