Old Man’s Soup

At 81 my Dad was still cooking for himself. This was one of his favorites that he prepared often. Great when comfort food is needed.

Ingredients

  • 1 (15 oz) can chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup celery, chopped
  • 1/2 cup bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 (8 oz) cans tomato sauce
  • 1 (15 oz) can Veg-all mixed vegetables
  • 1 (11 oz) can corn
  • 1/2 cup carrots, chopped
  • 1/2 lb stew meat or round steak, cubed
  • Water
  • Dash of salt
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp oil

Directions

Step 1

In a medium stockpot, add the oil and brown the onion, bell pepper, and celery.

Step 2

After the onion is translucent, add all the remaining ingredients. Also, for each opened can of vegetable and tomato sauce, fill with water and add to the soup. Add a dash of salt and black pepper to taste. Cook over low heat for 2 hours.
