   cover with water (2 pints). 3. Bring to the boil and simmer gently
   for 1 1/2 hours with beans or peas. 4. Add peeled and cut up produce.

   Tip #1:  You can add any type of meat to “beef” up this basically
   meatless dish e.g. chicken, beef, pork etc. The only requirement is
   that the pieces remain large otherwise they will disappear in the
   soup. Tip #2: You can make some flour dumplings and plunk them in the
   soup about 1/2 hour before you are ready. Tip #3: This soup gets very
   thick very fast! A little water and butter will thin it out.
