Mama’s Homemade Vegetable Soup

This is my daughters, Adrienne and Gabby’s favorite soup that I make.  Per request of my daughter, Gabby, I am going to Austin this weekend and Gabby and I will prepare it together.  This recipe makes a huge amount, about 40 servings, so feel free to cut this recipe in half.  Since, I make it once a year, I freeze most of it in single portions and I eat it all year round and still have plenty to give away.   

Ingredients:

1. 1& ½ gallons of water
2. 1 large chuck roast, ~2 pounds
3. 6 beef flavoring cubes
4. 3- 6 oz cans of tomato paste
5. 1- 24 oz tomato sauce
6. 1-24 oz diced tomatoes
7. 2 cans of Rotel tomatoes
8. 2 large onions, diced
9. 1 small stalk of celery, diced
10. 6 cloves of garlic, peeled, roasted & pureed
