Leftover roast or steak
2 to 3 carrots, chopped
3 c. water
1 onion, chopped
2 to 3 stalks celery, chopped
2 (#2) cans tomatoes
1/2 to 3/4 c. corn
1/2 c. fresh or canned okra
1/3 c. chopped cabbage (optional)
1/2 to 3/4 c. peas or beans
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp. sugar

Cook leftover meat and water in large pot while you chop vegetables. Add canned tomatoes and all raw vegetables and allow to simmer for about 1 hour. During cooking remove meat, cut into bite size pieces and discard fat and bone.

Return meat to pot and add other vegetables that are canned or already cooked. Season to taste and simmer as long as you need. Add additional water, if needed.
