Requested Recipe from COF last night

Good WINDY morning to you all. Ready for the cold front they say that is coming in?  It should be here soon.  Brrr!! Thanks to everyone that came to the meeting last night.  What a great group.   Welcome to Michelle & Barbara....our two first timers. We enjoyed meeting you both and look forward to seeing you next month. Here is the recipe that we discussed at the COF meeting last night.  I can't take credit for this......I didn't come up with it on my own.....but I can't give proper credit to who did come up with it.  I got this on line, but I can't remember where?? Enjoy, Glenna Head Hunger Soup 6 lg green onions, sliced 1 lg white onion, diced 5 stalks celery, chopped(tops too) 2 lg green peppers, diced 3 whole carrots,sliced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1(20 oz) can tomatoes, diced 1(48 oz) can V-8 juice 1/3 c beef boullion granules 1/4 tsp celery seed 2 tsp tarragon 1 bay leaf 1/4 tsp liquid smoke 1/2 head cabbage, chunked 1 bag frozen green beans water Spray large stock pot with cooking spray. Heat over medium heat. Saute onions green peppers, celery, and carrots until onions begin to wilt. Add garlic and stir well. Add tomatoes and V-8 juice. Stir well. Add next ingredients stirring well after each addition. Add water just to cover. Bring to a slight boil and reduce to simmer. Cover and let cook for 1-2 hours. (I like my veggies crunchy so I use less cooking time) Remove bay leaf. Divide into freezer containers. Place one container in your fridge and the rest in the freezer. Remove and enjoy as needed. Contributer's note: I created this to have when those head hunger pains would strike and I just needed to eat something. You can change the flavors by adding different herbs and spices, as well as a variety of veggies. The combinations are limitless. But this is my favorite one. Many of you will recognize that it is based on the old "Cabbage Soup Diet" recipe.
