Ingredients:
2 lbs stewing beef
4 beef bouillon cubes
2 lbs ground beef
3 potatoes, peeled and diced
1 (14 1/2 ounce) cans cut green beans
1 (15 7/8 ounce) cans black-eyed peas
1 (15 ounce) cans lima beans
1 onions, diced
1 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
1 (15 1/4 ounce) cans kernel corn
1 (15 ounce) cans sliced carrots
1 (16 ounce) bags frozen cut okra
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
salt and pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 bay leaves
1 teaspoon basil
1 cup elbow macaroni
Directions:
Put stew beef in a large dutch oven with enough water to cover it.
Bring to a boil and add bouillon cubes.
Simmer, covered, approx 1 1/2 hours or until meat is almost done.
Check the beef occasionally to make sure you still have enough liquid in the dutch oven.
Additional water (or beef broth if you prefer) may be added if needed.
While the beef simmers, brown and drain ground beef.
When stew beef is almost done, add all remaining ingredients.
Simmer approx 30 minutes or until vegetables and pasta are done.
If the soup seems to be too thick, additional water (or beef broth) may be added.
