I've made this recipe about a dozen times using variations of a minor sort - cut up chuck steak, stewing beef or cut-up bottom round, a tablespoon of soy, a tablespoon of Worcestershire not all at the same time of course - and it's always good.

My more or less settled recipe includes celery, onion, carrots and a couple of teaspoons of beef base or a couple of bullion cubes. I tried potatoes once but they cooked to mush but I might try red skins. Perhaps they'll hold together.

Got a pot going now for dinner.

I skip scraping of the soup cans, just add a little water to each of them, swish it around & pour them into the pot! I also add a can of whole kernal corn. Bon Appetit!
