Description: "Yummy!"

NOTES :
*You can eliminate the lima beans if you want. I used the small cans of veggies but didnt put them in until the soup was reheated. If you use frozen veggies I guess you can put them in with the potatoes, etc.

*Aunt Alice gave me this recipe and she wrote to cook it for 3 hours but when I did that the veggies were too mushy so I changed it to 2 hours. Even that might be too much so test the meat and veggies after 1 hour.
