vegetable soup

I've never had the soup at Coffee Call, so I have no idea what it's like.

Good stock
Tender meat
Turnips

I use a few more ingredients than most people in their minestrone: beef, onion, celery, bell pepper, garlic, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, zucchini, squash, turnips, cabbage, mushrooms, corn, white beans or black eyes, wild rice, parsley and bay leaf. The key is to not overcook the carrots and potatoes-let them stay a bit firm.

eta: okra is good also, mostly because of the texture of the seeds.
