Sugar's Caldo De Rez(Beef Soup)
Ingrediants: 1lb beef for stew: I usually cut the fat off 1sm. onion 3 sticks of celery 1half a head of a full cabbage 1 sm. green bell pepper 1 lg.can Italian stewed, or diced tomatoes with juice 3-4 chopped fresh carrots garlic powder to taste salt and pepper to taste haf a cup of onion chips Knor Swissa chicken conssume(boullion)1-2 Tea spoons salsa(optional) lemon juice corn on the cob cut in half 4 potatos Instructions: in a large pot of water, place the meat in with your seasonings. let boil for about 1 hour, or until meat is tender, over medium heat. I find it much easier being blind to boil the potatos seperately from the rest of the veggies, same with the carrots. For carrots: I place all chopped carrots in a microwavable container in the microwave for about 4 minutes, or some what tender. For the potatos, once peeled(optional( I cut in to bite size and let them boil for about 25 minutes, or tender, as if I was making potato salad. in the mean time, the meat is still in the boiling water. as for the corn, I also boil seperately, for about 15 minutes. once meat is tender enough where you can poke through with a fork, you can check if the water needs more flavor by adding more garlic, etc....;add the chopped veggies, your onions, green bell pepper, celery, and if you wish you can add corn, and carrots, leaving the cabbage and potatos for the last 15 minutes. once a simmer has occured, you are through. for topping, you can add salsa, and lemon juice for your own likeing I serve with either corn chips or corn tortillas, and at times fresh slice of avocados can be served. enjoy syl "...And this I pray...
