pieces, put them in a saucepan, cover your meat with cold water, put the lid
half way on, let it simmer and draw half an hour, add to it two or three
spoonfuls of cooked tomatoes; cut a cooked potato, a carrot sliced in two, half

hours. If you find it short add a little cold water with your vegetables and you
will have a delicious soup.
