Meat & Vegetable Soup

You’ll need the largest stockpot you’ve got to make this nutritious and tasty soup. A bit of everything goes in here and you can take it straight to the table as a complete meal with your favourite bread. You could leave out the meat and use just vegetables, if you like, adding a couple more varieties. I use very lean beef here but, if you like the taste of the fat, make sure you buy a good piece of meat and don’t trim it. Keep the cut-up potatoes in a bowl of cold water or cut them up late
