At this point in the recipe Jackie writes “Ask Mom, the rest of the recipe I missing.” ???

I’ll just wing it. Cut meat into bite size pieces and add to stock. Add carrots, beans, pasta, celery, onion and garlic. Simmer until carrots and pasta are cooked. Add beef bouillon and pepper to taste.

Most recipes also add a diced potato, some diced tomato, a few green beans and some sliced zucchini. Additional seasoning could include basil, thyme, and parsley.
