| 1. Browning ground chuck and seasonings in a medium-large frying pan, drain and set aside. | 2. Simmer the kidney beans in a small sauce pan (The beans will crack open in about 20 minutes). | 3. Chop, then saute the fresh vegetables in the olive oil, using a large stew pot, covered (about an 8 qt pot would be perfect). | 4. When the onions and celery are somewhat clear, add the water, potatoes, and seasonings to the stew pot. | 5. Cook on high heat til it comes to a boil, then turn the heat down to medium, cover and slowly boil for 8 minutes, or until the carrots are done. | 6. Add the cabbage and let it cook, covered, for another 5-8 minutes, or until the potatoes seem to be half-cooked. | 7. Add the ground chuck, kidney beans, and the remaining ingredients, bring to bubbling, then simmer for 10-15 minutes more, or until potatoes are done. | 8. Don't allow the potatoes to cook too much or they will just fall apart. | 9. Serve steaming hot with crackers& crusty buttered bread. | 10. Sprinkle some parmesean cheese ontop, if you want. | 11. For all you vegetarians, simply omit the ground chuck, cut down 1- 1/2 cups of water and I think it would taste great! | 12. I hope you all enjoy my soup! | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
