I cook by the pot and freeze about 6 containers.

Its the cutting up the vegies that drives me nuts.

Favorites: Stew, beef barley soup, chicken soup, goulash mix, stuffed peppers and.....Chicken French.

Stew...don't freeze potatoes...add them fresh.

Easiest fastest way to cut up veggies - to clean run under running water...

I'll admit, I've developed a fondness for canned carrots. They make for an almost-instant soup or stew.

I always use frozen store bought vegetables, because I don’t have a garden. Fresh bought is always shipped unripened, so they aren’t fully nutritional.

However, frozen is flash frozen upon being ripened at the farms, so they are fully ripened and a better option, imo.

For beef barely soup I use turnips instead of potatoes.

I feel the same about carrots. They get rubbery if frozen.
