My grandmother made this soup for us often when I was young.  It is a delicious soup that everyone in the family enjoys.  It wasn't until I was an adult that I found out it was actually my grandfather, Gepa's (GEE-PAW) recipe which he taught to my grandmother.  My mother included it in her third cookbook, With Love, From Cynthia.  Knowing that he never wrote down the recipe makes me smile that once again, my mother could taste something and figure out quantities and ingredients to be just like what she tasted.  It's a delicious beef and vegetable soup! In honor of the fathers and grandfathers who play such important roles in our lives, this soup will be on the menu this Sunday for Father’s Day. We hope you have a happy Father’s Day!
