MAMA'S VEGGIE BEEF SOUP

Steps:

• boil stew beef or beef ribs until done through. remove from juice, dump juice in big pot with all other ingredients, cut up beef if not already done, into 1 inch cubes, place in large pot with rest of the ingredients and let come to full rolling boil for 20 minutes, then turn down and let simmer as long as you like. This soup is even better the next day, if you're lucky enough to have leftovers.

MAMA'S HOMEMADE BEEF & VEGETABLE SOUP

Steps:

• In a large dutch oven, sear beef stew meat till almost burned so that the meat has a better flavor. You may need to do this in batches.
• When meat is seared, cover it in the same pot with water.
• Add chopped onion and seasonings including boullion cubes.
• Bring this to a boil. Lower heat to simmer for one and one half to two hours. This makes the meat fall apart tender.
• Add frozen, mixed vegetables and bring back to a boil.
• Note: I (Mama,too) add ketchup at this point to add flavor and thicken the broth just a bit. Add however much you feel like, however, She made a note on my recipe stating "ketchup very important for flavor".
• Cook approximately 1 hour or until vegetables are done to your desire.
