8 Can Soup

As Phinneas and Ferb would say, "Easy Peasy, Lemon Squeezy"....

1 can Chili
1 can Chili without beans
1 can vegetable beef soup
1 can dice tomatoes
1 can sliced potatoes
1 can corn
1 can beans
1 can mixed vegetables

Drain liquid off of all vegetables.  Add all cans to a pot and cook until boiling.  Turn to low and let simmer as long as you want.  The more you simmer, the better it gets.  It is also a great recipe to throw in a crockpot.

Try it, you'll like it :)
