Soup, yum


Hi everyone.

Well, it has been a week since the surgery. It still feels like yesterday. I wish I would have done things differently. Got the flu on top of everything. Nausea and all. Caught it from one of the dental workers who was sick with the same symptoms. I think people who are sick should stay home especially in that field.

Well, I haven't been able to eat much, but I thought of a good soup to make:

Oxtail/short rib vegetable soup

Use one oxtail or more if you prefer two packages of short ribs

one can of corn (drained) one large can of whole tomatoes

one can of peas (drained) one can of green beans(drained)

one can of wax beans one can of carrots sliced

one can of potatoes one can of butter beans

one stalk of celery diced one onion diced

two cans of low sodium beef stock

In a large pot, place oxtails, ribs and cover with water. Bring to a boil. When the water starts to have sacum (brown frothy matter) use a spoon to remove and discard. After this has cooked about 1 and 1/2 hrs. add the vegetables and the stock. Cook until the meat is tender about 2-3 hrs in total. Then enjoy. You may need to add more water if needed. Keep covered and stir the

soup frequently to prevent sticking.

Enjoy. This is one of my favorite soups. Mom liked it too. Hope you will.
