Beef and Okra Soup

Ingredients:

• 1.5 lbs stew meat/bones (I used beef neck)
• 1 package of Okra (maybe 1/2 lb)
• 1 rib celery chopped
• 2 carrots 1/4" slices
• 1 large onion coarsely chopped
• 1/2 tsp dry thyme
• 1/2 tsp dry sage
• salt/pepper to taste
• oil.

Directions:

Brown meat in oil. Place in a pot with water bring to a boil and simmer for 1 hour. Skim scum with spoon. Add the veggies and spices. Simmer for another 2 hours. The okra breaks up and the soup tastes very close to pea soup. (at least to me) if you want, add okra in the later hour of cooking so it stays together. sorry no picks
