32-oz. pkg. frozen okra, corn, celery and red pepper mixed vegetables
8-oz. pkg. bowtie pasta, uncooked
1/2 t. garlic powder

Place chicken, broth and tomatoes in a large soup pot. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat; simmer 10 minutes. Add frozen vegetables, uncooked pasta and seasonings. Return to a boil. Cover and simmer one hour. Serves 8 to 10.
