You may use garden vegetables or want more or less of one vegetable. Bring 1 large size dishpan of water 3/4 full to a boil. Combine mixed vegetables, okra, onions, potatoes, celery, and peppers; pour in water. Reduce heat (medium). Cook for about 15 minutes, then add tomatoes and tomato paste. Stir continuously. Cook for about 1 1/2 hours. (Don't allow to get tender for later cooking.)
