Cover soup bone with water in kettle and bring to a boil and simmer 2-3 hours. Remove bone and salt to taste. To broth add any meat removed from bone, add carrots, rutabaga, potato, onion and bay leaf. Bring to a boil and simmer until vegetables are done. Dumplings may be added.

*Some suggestions are: carrots, green pepper, celery, onions, potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes, or frozen mixed veggies. I would add all of these.
Brown meat. Add water, cover, and bring to a boil. Remove scum. Add above ingredients and cook until meat is tender. Add extra vegetables such as suggested. Let cook all day on low (10-12 hours) or 8-10 hours on high in crock pot. Watch close - cooking time really depends on your crock pot.

Melt shortening; add 3/4 lb. ground beef. Cook until meat is done. Add other ingredients and simmer 45 minutes. Can add other veggies if you desire.

Bring water to a boil and add chicken base. Chop all vegetables and add to water. Fry chopped onion in a little oil; drain and add to water and vegetables. Add seasonings and tomato sauce. Simmer for 2 hours.

What's the purpose of frying the onion prior to adding it to the rest of the ingredients? Sounds delicious! (01/08/2007)

Hi....
The reason why you fry the onion, is so you can bring out the "sweetness" of the onion. Make sure you don't overcook. Fry just until the onions are clear and tender. Hope you try, it's a family favorite of ours.(01/10/2007)
