Yesterday I came in from being out of town and found some stew meat and oxtail bones in the freezer. Boiled that for 3 hours in beef broth and then added onions, head of cabbage, fresh okra, potatoes, barley and peas. Put the soup into 12 containers in the deep freeze and I have 12 meals ahead of me. I love to leave the tomatoes out. (although sometimes a squeeze of lemon does the same thing for flavoring) I don't think anyone can 'mess up' a good soup.

I'll have to pick some up next time we're at the butcher's. Try browning meat and bones for stock under the broiler or in the bottom of the pot before adding water for additional flavor and rich color.
