BEEF VEGETABLE SOUP The CHICAGO STOCK YARD INN Recipe. image

This is (was) a very famous soup, that was served at the Famous Chicago Stock Inn Restaurant. The Stock Yards,and all the meat packing houses, were no longer in business around,1971. I understand a college now occupies the land. The great entrance gate you see in the picture, was left standing. Recipe from: Mary C. and copied from, behind the yards neighborhood, 1978 Church of Our Lady of Good Council, Mothers Club Cook Book. Pictures supplied from the post card collections of John Chuckman
