"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Directions:
You’ll need a LARGE soup pot and a big crowd! This soup is delicious and the crowd will appreciate your effort.

Sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper. Sauté chopped onion and garlic in about 1 - 2 tablespoons of vegetable or olive oil. Add the meat and brown on all sides. Tend it and let it cook for a while on low heat. Add all the cans of tomatoes and the cans of beef consommé. Add 4 of the 5 cups of water. Add your prepared vegetables. You’ll be able to tell once everything starts to cook whether or not you need more water...you just don’t want to add too much to start with.

Once you’ve added your vegetables, add your seasonings. Once it starts to cook, turn it down to a low simmer and let it cook at least a couple of hours, maybe longer...until the meat is tender and the seasonings have mellowed. The soup is actually even better the next day. Serve it with hot cornbread and enjoy!

Personal Notes:
This soup is perfect for making at the height of the growing season in the summer. All those fresh veggies! It’s a good idea to freeze several containers full for the first cold or snowy day to come.
