In 2nd grade my teacher Mrs. Means gave the entire class this recipe. I think we ate this in class one day, but I don't recall. It is my favorite vegetable soup recipe to this day. I'm not sure where the soup got the name, but my guess is it was probably from a story we read. My Mom said the original recipe calls for a beef soup bone and beef, but I grew up without it in the recipe. Feel free to throw either or both in to suit your tastebuds or use your own fresh homemade vegetable stock.
Ingredients:
2 quarts water
8 teaspoons beef bouillon

1 cup potato, sliced
2 1/2 cups tomatoes
1 green pepper, diced
2 garlic cloves, diced
salt and pepper
Directions:
1. Bring all ingredients to a boil in a large pot and simmer until potato is soft.
