HOMEMADE VEGETABLE BEEF SOUP

Steps:

• Cube the fresh roast into small cubes and brown in a large iron dutch skillet with cooking oil. Add the vinegar and sugar to brown the meat a deeper brown. Add the fresh vegetables and saute for about 5 minutes, mixing well.
• Add the canned ingredients to a very large crockpot, with a can of water for each can that was opened and set the unit on high. Add the browned beef mixture to the crockpot, careful to get all of the drippings out of the skillet. I usually add a little water to render the rest up from the skillet, this really add to the flavor and color of the soup.
• Cook on low for one hour to begin to tenderize the beef. At the beginning of the second hour, add the red potatoes and the carrots and cook an hour. At the beginning of the third hour, put your frozen vegetables and turnips and begin your seasonings.
• On the fourth and last hour, add your lemon juice, squashes and kale. These do not have to cook long so add them last or they will cook away to nothing! Enjoy with some hot buttered cornbread and you are good to go! =)

Make a well in the center and add the eggs. mix slightly until mixter is lumpy. Add hot water a little at a time until you get a mixter the consistency of cake batter. Heat a cast iron skillet or griddle to cook the cornbread. You can spray it with a non-stick spray, but only the oil kind. NO buttery or baking powder sprays. Ladle the mixture onto the skillet or griddle about a good serving spoon size for each cake. when it starts to bubble on the top, flip it over, cook until done and place it on a serving plate. Repeat until all the batter is cooked. This should yield about 12 to 15 nice size cakes. If you want smaller cakes just ladle on a smaller amount. Serve with the soup while hot and enjoy.
