Antioch Vegetable Soup
From the Kitchen of Sonja Bailey

1 lb. Hamburger, browned (or your favorite cut of beef)
6 large potatoes cubed
1 c. okra chapped (can add more to your taste)
1 can English peas (can use frozen peas)
1 c. lima beans (frozen)
2 Quarts tomatoes mashed or tomato juice
3-6 carrots, sliced
3-4 stalks of celery (chopped)
2 onions chopped
2 cans whole kernel corn
2 heaping Tbsp. sugar
1 c. Acine De Pepe (tiny pasta) can add more or less to your taste
Add 1 c. of any other of your favorite vegetable

Cook potatoes, onions, okra and carrots covered in water until tender.
Add remaining ingredients except pasta, salt and pepper to taste. Add pasta 1 hour before serving. Simmer at least 1 hour.

Tips:
I used a dutch oven to cook my soup.
I started it early in the day and let it simmer several hours before serving.
Might have to add more liquid as it cooks.
Serve with corn bread for traditional taste
