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.
