We purchased a half beef a couple of years ago and have several soup bones that have never been used so I decided to try making it into a soup. I found seeveral recipies for beef soups so here is the resultant soup.
The base:
Soup bones with meat.
3 cups tomatoes - frozen or canned
Seasoning based on rest of soup
Water and maybe tomato juice (I used bottled)
1 onion diced
Place beef bones in crockpot. Add tomatoes, juice, and onion. Add water to cover.
Cook until the meat falls off the bone (about 12 hours on high).
First try:
2 cups dry white beans.
2 large potatoes
Handfull of soybeans
Mixed vegies
Add the beans, cook for 4 hours unitl the beans are tender.
Add potatoes and vegies, cook 2 hours.
Second try:
1 pound spit peas
4 cups cooked rice
Carrots sliced
Add split peas, cook for at least 3 hours.
Add cooked rice and slice carrots. cook for 1 hour.
