i made paula deens last weekend it was really good
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (if using chuck roast)
2 1/2 to 3 pounds beef short ribs or 2 1/2 to 3 pounds boneless chuck roast*
4 quarts cold water
1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
3 tablespoons dried parsley
2 tablespoons beef bouillon granules
1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon House Seasoning, recipe follows
1 tablespoon seasoned salt, plus extra for seasoning
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus extra for seasoning
2 bay leaves
1 cup thinly sliced carrots
1 cup diced celery
1 cup sliced green beans, fresh or canned
1 cup frozen black-eyed peas
1 cup frozen butter beans
1 cup cut okra, fresh or frozen
1 cup corn kernels, fresh or canned
1 cup diced potatoes
1/2 cup uncooked elbow macaroni
Chopped fresh parsley leaves
If using chuck roast, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the roast in the skillet and cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the roast from the skillet and cut it into 1 1/2 to 2-inch cubes; discard the fat. Place the beef cubes in a large stockpot. (If using short ribs, you can put them right in the pot with no preparation).
Add the water, tomatoes, onions, dried parsley, beef bouillon, dried Italian seasoning, House Seasoning, seasoned salt, Worcestershire sauce, celery salt, garlic powder, black pepper and bay leaves. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover the pot; reduce the heat so that the liquid simmers, and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the meat is very tender. If using short ribs, remove them from the pot and cut the meat from the bones, discard the bones and fat, and return the meat to the pot. Add the remaining vegetables and the macaroni and return the soup to a boil, stirring to distribute the ingredients. Reduce the heat and simmer for 45 minutes. Just before serving, season with salt and pepper and add fresh chopped parsley. To remove excess fat from the surface of the soup, swirl a lettuce leaf around the surface—it will pick up a lot of the fat.
*The chuck roast will yield more meat, but the bones from the short ribs give the soup an incredible flavor.
House Seasoning:
1 cup salt
1/4 cup black pepper
1/4 cup garlic powder
fresh vegetables and water!! god im good
Chop lots of your favourite veggies, melt a little butter in a large pan, gently fry a chopped onion for a couple of minutes, add the veggies and some stock made from cubes. Simmer till the veggies are cooked, blast thro a blender. If you want it really thick, add some potato or a jar of pre cooked lentils.
Will take no more than 20 mins.

This one's yum: my momma's carrot and potato soup.
brown some chopped smoked bacon,
Add:
12 peeled, chopped carrots
2 peeled chopped potatoes
a couple of sticks of chopped celery
about 3 large glasses water
1 veg stock cube
some pepper, crushed coriander, parsley
cover and leave it boiling until the veg are soft, then mash / blend. Add more water if necessary so it isn't totally liquid but is a little bit thick
Chop in a few pieces of mozzarella or melting cheese which go a bit gooey.
Total comfort food and quite good for you too.
Yummmm!!!!
Ok, this may take more effort than you want to put forth, but the results (i.e. leftovers) are worth it and will last for days. Start by making a pot roast using chuck roast and a slow cooker or one of those roast in a bag kits. Next day, take your leftover roast and whatever vegetables you have available (potatoes, carrots, lima beans, green beans, peas, corn -- even fresh chopped cabbage is good) they can be fresh or frozen and add to some chopped onion that you have sauteed in a large stockpot. Add a large can of stewed tomatoes (V8 juice is also a good option) and enough water to cover. Of course, you'll need some salt and pepper and a few bay leaves (remember to pull them out when you're ready to eat). Basically, you can throw in the kitchen sink. Then let it all cook -- the longer the better. Sometimes I'll elbow macaroni for a little more substance. Close to the end, throw in some frozen peas. Oh, and because I'm from the south, we always have cornbread. Lord, that makes me hungry. You'll need to ask for the best corn bread recipe next! Oh, and it's always better the second day.
get some tomato puree add it to your stock cube mix together with water cook your diced veggies in the stock liquid. eg carrots,potatoes,leek,onions,sweetcorn,c... do not peel the veggies add some tinned spam diced up 30 minutes before the veggies are cooked.
easy.
take 1 onion, 1 butternut squach (peel and deseed), 1 sweet potato, 1/2 a parsnip, 1 clove garlic, 1/2 stick celery, about 1 inch leek white, 1/2 block of unsalted butter 1 tablespoon of sea salt crystals(or rock salt)and a pinch of saffron if you'r feeling rich.. chopp it al up into equalll size bits about 2cm squares, put all in a big pan and cook on a low heat for about an hour stirring occasionnally untill it's all coooked and soft like a big mush. then add about a pint of water/vegetable stock/nage and put into a blender and blend in stages. put it all though a seive. taste and season. this is a winning recipie i use it nearly every day cooking in a michellin starred kitchen..
