Vegetable Soup

There is nothing better than home made veggie soup! Especially when you have bread to soak up the juice!

Flank steak or you could use stew meat (if you use flank steak cut it into whatever size suits your fancy!)
9 potatoes (we made a huge pot)
5 celery stalks chopped
1 yellow onion chopped
couple of tablespoons of minced garlic
salt and pepper to taste
beef bouillon cube
bay leaf
1 bag og baby carrots
1 bag of frozen corn
1 bag of frozen lima beans
1 small can of tomatoe paste
1/4 of a bottle of the V8 juice (we used regukar V8, but if you like a little spice you could use the spicy V8)
hot sauce (I do not like things very spicy so we do not put much. Just add to your liking)

Put everything except the carrots and potatoes into a large pot. I turned it on low and cooked it for about 6 hours. I put the potatoes and carrots in like an hour and a half before we were ready to serve. I did not want them to cook to pieces. Also if you wanted to make it a bit healthier you could add sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes. My grandmother adds both when she makes a roast! It is so yummy! Heat and some bread and enjoy!
