This hearty flavorful stew holds well and is wonderful the next day. I often mix this up before work and dinner is ready when we get home.

Mix in and cook another 5 minutes. Place all ingredients in a large crockpot and add together the tomatoes, marinara sauce, chicken broth and seasonings. Stir well. Turn heat to low, cover and let cook for 5-6 hours or until vegetables are fork tender and broth has thickened. Reseason to taste. Serve with hunks of hot cornbread.
