INGREDIENTS
1 pound venison or beef short ribs or shanks
2 quarts water
2 large onions, quartered
2 ripe tomatoes, seeded and diced
1 large bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 cup fresh or frozen okra
1/2 cup diced potatoes
1/2 cup sliced carrots
1/2 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
1/4 cup chopped celery
salt and ground pepper, to taste
DIRECTIONS
Put meat, water, and onions in a heavy soup kettle. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3 hours.
Remove meat, let cool, and discard bones, returning meat to pot. Stir in remaining vegetables and simmer, partially covered for 1 1/2 hours.
Season with salt and pepper.
This will make about 6 servings
Takes about 5 hours to cook on stove top.
I have also used this in a crock pot on high for about 4 to 5 hours before discarding the bones and adding remaining vegetables for the remaining 2 to 3 hours.
