4 packs (2 boxes) Lipton’s Beefy Onion Soup mix (much better than onion soup mix but you can use onion soup mix in a pinch)

8 cups of water

Let come to a boil and then drop to simmer.

then add:

1 Large Rutabaga diced into small pieces(this is critical, does not seem important until you forget it and wonder what’s missing)

3 cups diced celery with leaves

4 cups of diced carrots

3 cups diced potatoes

2 14.5oz cans of whole peeled tomatoes- remove excess skins and chop them up

4 lbs of Beef cubes (cut to size) and pre-browned in frying pan

Then back to boil then down to simmer at 320 degrees for 3-4 hours

Serve Hot. Serve with some Sour Cream and crusty rye bread.

For some reason most people agree it tastes better reheated the next day.
