Cut roast beef into bite-sized pieces. Put 1/4 cup oil in soup pot, add beef, and brown Add bullion to pot Add tomatoes to pot Chop vegetables Add vegetables to pot Bring to a rolling boil Turn down heat and simmer for 1 hour Enjoy! I use a 11 qt stock pot when I make this and it is quite full. This also keeps well in the freezer for a quick meal when I am running late.
