-
Step 1
Chop celery, string beans, bell peppers, carrots and green onions.
-
Step 2
Heat vegetable oil in a large soup pot. Saute the celery, green onions and carrots until they begin to soften.
-
Step 3
Add the string beans to the pot, and saute the mixture until it browns. Add stewed tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Step 4
Fill the pot with cold water (or beef broth) until it amply covers the vegetables, about eight quarts. Bring to a boil, then simmer.
-
Step 5
Throw in a beef bouillon cube if you filled the pot with water. Add a package of instant chicken-soup mix, like an envelope of Lipton's, for example. Let the soup simmer, covered, for 20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Add freshly chopped parsley before serving.
