• 2 cups chopped celery

directions

1. Brown beef in (large) 12-quart soup pot.
2. Add tomatoes and beef broth then add bones, all veggies and enough water to cover everything (approximately 1 inch from top).
3. Bring to boil and add pot herb (i usually put the pot herb in a piece of cheese cloth and tie to side of pot, this way you don't loose it in the soup).
4. Turn down to simmer and cook for approximately 2 hours stirring occasionally.
