Dad's Soup

2 Small heads or one big head of cabbage
2 small heads or 1 big head of cauliflower 
3 or 4 big broccoli crowns
4 sweet green peppers
6 yellow onions
4 8-inch sized zucchini 

Chop the above vegetables into bite-sized or smaller pieces.  The quantities above will be enough for 3 - 4 batches.  Mix the chopped vegetables.  I use a plastic garbage sack to mix them up.  I then divide the vegetables into 3 - 4 portions.  I usually can fill 3 gallon-sized storage bags and have an equal amount left to put into the current batch of soup that I am making.  You can now quickly make soup the next 3 times.  I freeze the 3 bags and pull a bag out each of the next times  I make a new batch of soup.

The below instructions are for making each batch of soup.

Next, brown 3-4 pounds of ground turkey 

While browning meat, put the following into a very large pan:

8 cups chicken broth
2 quarts whole canned tomatoes (I like to mash the whole tomatoes so there's no large chunks)
2 cans tomato sauce
3 tablespoons cumin 
1 tablespoon chili powder 
4 tablespoons chopped garlic cloves
1 - 2 teaspoons to cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon worchestershire sauce

Stir the above and then add the browned meat and 1/3 of the vegetables.  Cook until the vegetables are cooked to your liking.  

You're done
