Maw Maw's Vegetable Soup

This was my favorite recipe that my Maw Maw made!  I make it at least once a month, even in the summer! Every time I eat it I think of her :)

4 Chicken Breast, bone in and skin on
1 large onion, diced
2 cups frozen or fresh corn
3 baking potatoes, diced
3 carrots, peeled and diced
2 cup frozen peas
1 bag frozen or fresh okra
1 pound extra lean hamburger, cooked and drained (sometimes I don't add this)
2 cups frozen or fresh butter beans
2 (28-ounce) cans organic diced tomatoes
1 large can organic tomato paste
1 TBSP basil
2 tsp oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
1 TBSP chili powder
dash of celery salt

Cook chicken in water until tender.  Remove the chicken from the Broth.

To the Broth add all vegetables, hamburger meat and spices.  Shred chicken and add to soup.

Bring to a boil. Then reduce to a simmer and cook for at least a couple of hours.  I usually let it cook 3 to 4 hours.
