Steak Soup

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Cook: 1-3/4 hours YIELD: 6 servings.
Meet the Cook: One of the nice things about this thick soup is you can make it in an afternoon without too much fuss. I've found that it's good for soccer-practice evenings - with our sons 18, 17 and 9, we have gotten accustomed to many of those! -Mary Dice, Chemainus, British Columbia
