Vegtable soup

Soup is a staple around our house all winter.  I make huge batches, we eat it a couple of times that week and I freeze the rest or give it away.

2-3# chuck roast cut into cubes and remove any extra fat
3-4 potatoes peeled and cut into cubes don't make them too small or they'll just turn to mush
4-6 carrots peeled and cut into chunks
1-2 onions peeled and cut into chunks
1 lg can diced tomatoes
1 bag of frozen mixed vegetables
1T oregano
1-2 garlic cloves crushed or use garlic powder
3-4 beef bouillon cubes
salt and pepper to taste
Brown the cubes of meat in a little oil cover with water and simmer for 1 hour.  Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer until the meat and vegetables are tender about 1-1/2 hours.  Or just dump everything in the crock pot and cook on low all day.
This is even better served with hot home made bread and butter.
