Ingredients

  • 2 lbs stew beef chunks
  • 2 -3 marrow, bones
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 2 cups diced onions
  • 2 cups sliced carrots
  • 2 cups chopped celery
  • 2 cups frozen peas
  • 2 cups frozen corn
  • 2 cups frozen baby lima beans
  • 2 cups frozen cut green beans
  • 1 pot herbs
  • 1 (16 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 4 (10 ounce) cans beef broth
  • 12-1 cup barley (optional)
  • 4 -8 cups water (approx enough to cover all ingredients in pot)
  • salt and pepper

Method

  • Brown beef in (large) 12-quart soup pot.
  • Add tomatoes and beef broth then add bones, all veggies and enough water to cover everything (approximately 1 inch from top).
  • Bring to boil and add pot herb (i usually put the pot herb in a piece of cheese cloth and tie to side of pot, this way you don't loose it in the soup).
  • Turn down to simmer and cook for approximately 2 hours stirring occasionally.
