This recipe isn’t really conducive to a lot of pictures. There are very few steps but it is a very good soup/stew. I think I’ve mentioned before that I had not been a soup person in the past but I’ve found some soups and stews that have changed my mind. So much so, that during the cold months, we have some kind of soup, stew, or chili each week. :)

The hardest thing about this recipe is all the dicing and chopping. Dice an onion, green pepper, 2 ribs of celery, and garlic.
